Conference Description
The Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering 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 Gordon Research Seminar on Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering is a unique forum. Graduate students, postdocs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education, will present their latest research –experiments, theoretical models and computational simulations– on materials that interact with biological systems. The focus of this meeting is to highlight a broad range of biomaterials to augment or replace a natural function. We will exchange cutting edge ideas on biomaterials that can control spatial and temporal presentation of biological signals for regenerative medicine, controlling cell fate, and manipulation of other biological processes. Additionally, there will be a Science Careers panel at the end of the meeting featuring speakers in industry (start-ups and established companies), government agencies, and science communication, who will describe their transition from their academic positions (PhD or postdoc) into to their current role to provide tips for navigating careers outside of academia.
Due to limited accommodations at this venue, guest housing is very limited. To request family/guest housing please reach out to your Conference Operations Associate.
