Examining the Basic Biomechanics and Biomedical Aspects of Cell Adhesion Signaling

The Gordon Research Seminar on Signaling by Adhesion Receptors 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.

A myriad of biological processes (i.e. development, homeostasis, and disease) are driven by the interaction and integration of signaling modules by adhesion receptors. We approach this topic drawing from diverse fields such as cell and developmental biology, bioengineering, biophysics, biomedical research, and systems biology. This GRS will allow for a unique opportunity for early career scientists to present their work, allowing them to gain constructive feedback and career development advice. In addition, this will be a special opportunity to network with peers and prepare attendees for the following GRC.
