Vascular Cell Biology (GRS)

Gordon-Kenan Research Seminar

Recent Advances and Novel Approaches to Vascular Biology in Development, Homeostasis and Disease

January 17 - 18, 2015
Chair Steven L. Swendeman
Four Points Sheraton / Holiday Inn Express
1050 Schooner Drive
Ventura, California, United States
 Venue and Travel Information

Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Vascular Cell Biology 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 focus of this meeting is to present novel recent research into molecular mechanisms and physiologically relevant pathways influencing developmental and pathological angiogenesis and vascular function, with a keynote speaker who will highlight the broad influence of vascular research and provide a mentorship component to the proceedings. Clinically related research or models as well as translational research covering vascular related pathologies or pathologies influencing vascular function would also be highlighted.

Related Meeting

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