Protein Synthesis and Pathway Integration

The Gordon Research Seminar on Translation Machinery in Health and 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.

mRNA translation is a fundamental biological process which is essential to all cells. Despite this central role, the relevance of this well-studied process to the pathogenesis of disease is still emerging. This meeting will provide a unique forum for trainees such as graduate students and postdocs to discuss their latest findings on the relationship of mRNA translation to cellular function, health, and disease. A major goal of this meeting is to foster interactions among young scientist to stimulate discussions and collaborations that cross scientific disciplines. In addition to talks by trainees, this meeting will feature a keynote lecture by Dr. Aaron Gitler.
