 Venue and Travel Information

Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Neuroimmune Communication in Health and Disease is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

This meeting will highlight the diverse immune cells that contribute to central nervous system health and disease. The program will include a keynote speaker, short talks selected from submitted abstracts, and poster sessions. This seminar will conclude with an interactive panel discussion with established scientists focused on career paths and experiences.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Neuroimmune Communication in Health and Disease" 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.
