Conference Description
Due to increased demand and pricing associated with the FIFA World Cup 2026 in the Boston area, GRC strongly encourages attendees
to make travel arrangements early to help minimize associated travel costs. We anticipate limited availability of hotel rooms,
rental cars, and transportation options departing from Boston, so please plan accordingly.
As a cost-effective transportation option, we encourage attendees to consider the GRC bus service, which can be reserved directly
through your myGRC account. Space is limited.
If you require an extended stay, please contact your COA, as GRC has secured a limited number of discounted rooms at the Embassy Suites
Boston Logan Airport.
The Proteoglycans 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.
The Gordon’s Research Seminar (GRS) on Proteoglycans provides a unique forum for PhD students, postdocs and other researchers with similar levels of experience, to present and exchange their new data and cutting-edge ideas.
The GRS is a small group setting that supports open discussion of attendee’s exciting work, with a combination of formal presentations and social interactions designed to build collaborative relationships within our group. We encourage attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators!
The Proteoglycans GRS will cover topics related to all aspects of proteoglycans research; be it new research methodology, basic research questions about proteoglycans and their effects on biological processes in health and disease, or therapeutic and translational applications to improve human health.
The GRS will be held in conjunction with the Gordon Research Conference on Proteoglycans, and we encourage applicants to submit abstracts to both meetings.
An outline of the program components for this GRS is displayed below. The seminar chair is currently developing their detailed program schedule, which will include the speakers they select from submitted abstracts, in addition to any additional components outlined below. The detailed program will be available by April 28, 2026. Please check back for updates.
