Epithelium Dynamics During Development, Regeneration, Disease and Aging

The Gordon Research Seminar on Epithelial Stem Cells and Niches is a unique forum dedicated to graduate students, post-docs, and young scientists. The meeting will primarily focus on epithelial stem cells and niche interactions during development and regeneration, as well as in the context of disease and aging. The transition of current discoveries to novel therapeutic approaches will be of particular interest. Talk sessions will be chaired by a senior scientist to encourage an open and inclusive debate. Two poster sessions will provide additional venues for networking. In conclusion, a panel discussion will gather experienced scientists and young researcher around the goal of creating and nurturing a healthy research environment, free of work-place biases and discrimination.
