The Vascular Cell Biology GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
The Vascular system is an intricate network of vessels and capillaries that circulate blood and lymph throughout the body. This network is patterned by intricate developmental signals, maintained and modulated throughout life by local and systemic cues and is corrupted by numerous diseases and during aging. Thanks to modern and classical approaches, the heterogeneity in structure, function and metabolism of endothelial cells across vascular beds is being progressively revealed.
This two-day seminar is an excellent opportunity to connect with the leading scientists, and with those who are set to become the next wave of researchers and scholars in vascular biology. The 2025 Vascular Cell Biology GRS aims to highlight new, unpublished research, and foster discussion and collaboration, in a relaxed and informal setting where both novel and experienced researchers can engage. Attendees are encouraged to participate in poster presentations and short talks, providing an excellent opportunity for trainees to gain experience and receive feedback on their ongoing work.The 2025 GRS on Vascular Cell Biology promises an engaging program of scientific presentations, mentoring panels, and social interactions that are sure to foster collaborations that may span decades. It is an excellent opportunity to broaden your knowledge on the emerging science in the field of vascular biology, as well as establish professional connections that will be beneficial for your future. We eagerly anticipate your participation!
Application Instructions
The seminar will feature approximately 10 talks and 2 poster sessions. All attendees are expected to actively participate in the GRS, either by giving an oral presentation or presenting a poster. Therefore, all applications must include an abstract.
The seminar chair will select speakers from abstracts submitted by October 6, 2024. Those applicants who are not chosen for talks and those who apply after the deadline to be considered for an oral presentation will be expected to present a poster. In order to participate, you must submit an application by the date indicated in the Application Information section above.
Program Format
Gordon Research Seminars are 2-day meetings which take place on the Saturday and Sunday just prior to the start of the associated GRC. The GRS opens with a 1-hour introductory session on Saturday afternoon, followed by a poster session, dinner and a 2-hour session in the evening. Sunday morning begins with breakfast and is followed by another 2-hour session, a second poster session, and lunch. A final 1-hour session takes place just after lunch, and the associated GRC begins later that evening.
