Tissue Repair and Regeneration (GRS)

Gordon-Merck Research Seminar

June 4 - 5, 2011
Chairs Yutaka Matsubayashi and Dunja Knapp
Colby-Sawyer College
541 Main Street
New London, New Hampshire, United States
 Venue and Travel Information

Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Tissue Repair & Regeneration 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 topics discussed will include the fundamental principles of tissue repair and regeneration revealed from a variety of model systems, the pathologies of misregulated tissue repair, and newly emerging therapeutic approaches to facilitate repair/regeneration processes.

Related Meeting

This GRC will be held in conjunction with the "Tissue Repair and Regeneration" Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRS in addition to an application for the GRC. Refer to the associated GRS program page for more information.
