The Chromosome Dynamics 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.
This GRS is dedicated to advancing our understanding of chromosome dynamics across life's domains. Through a multidisciplinary approach, we aim to delve deeply into the temporal-spatial regulation of structural organization and chromosome processes. It offers an intimate and collegial environment that fosters collaboration and intellectual exchange. Participants will have the opportunity to present their latest research, discuss innovative methods, and share cutting-edge ideas and pre-published data. The GRS is structured to support and enhance the development of scientific projects through constructive feedback and discussions.
Attendees will benefit from extensive networking opportunities, allowing them to connect with peers and establish valuable collaborative relationships. Additionally, the GRS will feature lectures, testimonies, and advice from esteemed senior scientists across both academic and non-academic fields, providing crucial insights into navigating and thriving in the diverse landscape of scientific careers.
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 March 16, 2025. 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.
