Notch Signaling in Development, Regeneration and Disease (GRS)

Gordon Research Seminar

From Molecular Mechanisms to Translational Research

July 19 - 20, 2014

 Venue and Travel Information

Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Notch Signaling in Development, Regeneration & 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.

The focus of this meeting is to explore the developmental and physiological roles of Notch signaling in model organisms such as worms, flies, fish and mice, and to understand the molecular pathophysiology of Notch related human diseases by integrating biochemical, cell biological, structural and bioinformatic approaches. As the Notch signaling field has become highly multidisciplinary over the last several decades, we welcome applicants from diverse scientific and medical fields to facilitate the translation of basic knowledge into clinical settings such as cancer therapeutics and regenerative medicine.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Notch Signaling in Development, Regeneration 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.
