Myogenesis (GRS)

Gordon Research Seminar

Cellular and Molecular Modulation of Myogenesis

June 10 - 11, 2023

 Venue and Travel Information

Conference Description

The Myogenesis GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.

This GRS meeting will focus on advancing our understanding of the molecular determinants of muscle development, stem cell regulation in the niche and novel therapeutic potentials for muscle disease and aging. We will explore the use of interdisciplinary approaches and harnessing the power of emerging techniques to create new opportunities for scientific discovery within the field of muscle biology.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Myogenesis" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
