Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Chemical and Biological Terrorism Defense 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. Our aim is to foster innovative ideas and technologies, and their applications to terrorism defense in the lab and in the field.

This meeting is a unique chance to connect with other motivated researchers at similar levels in their career. The meeting will kick-off with a keynote lecture by a distinguished scientist in the field and be followed by selected oral presentations and poster sessions. Finally, participants will be given the opportunity to discuss and interact with a mentorship panel of experienced scientists in order to discuss career paths and opportunities for career development.

We hope to see you at the 2019 GRS on Chemical and Biological Terrorism Defense in Ventura, CA, USA.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Chemical and Biological Terrorism Defense" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). 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.
