Conference Description
The Red Cells GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.
The Red Cells GRC plays a key role in the exchange of new ideas that advance the specific field and inform diverse fields, foster the development of collaborations, and facilitate the career development of trainees and early-stage faculty. Topics to be discussed include mechanisms governing hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell development in fetal and adult contexts, mechanisms controlling genome and epigenome function, erythroid progenitor biology, the role of inflammation and iron-dependent mechanisms in regulating erythropoiesis, the function of normal and diseased erythrocytes, and the development of strategies to treat erythroid disorders. The inclusion of industry and government researchers, along with academic scientists, creates an environment that fosters the process of spawning innovative ideas that may inform clinical translation.
The topics, speakers, and discussion leaders for the conference sessions are displayed below. The conference chair is currently developing their detailed program, which will include the complete meeting schedule, as well as the talk titles for all speakers. The detailed program will be available by February 8, 2025. Please check back for updates.
