Diverse Functions for Neurotrophic Factors: From Development to Disease

Neurotrophic factor biology represents a field of study that intersects with a broad range of topics in neurobiology and other non-neuronal systems. This meeting will feature presentations from junior neurotrophic factor scientists aimed toward expanding our collective understanding of the functional role of neurotrophic factors in biology. The small forum will provide trainees with an introduction to the topics to be discussed during the Gordon Research Conference and is designed to foster a sense of community among the trainees. Speakers will be selected from submitted abstracts and at the conclusion of the meeting one speaker will be elected to present their research at the Gordon Research Conference.
