Conference Description

The Glial Biology: Functional Interactions Among Glia and Neurons 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This seminar aims to create a platform for the discussion of unpublished discoveries and emerging methodologies in glial biology. The primary goal is to establish connections between various subfields, linking both the science and the scientists to achieve a comprehensive understanding of glial biology. This includes exploring the role of glial cells in controlling circuits and behavior in the healthy brain as well as in pathology. While short talks will be chosen from abstract submissions of unpublished findings, all GRS attendees will have the chance to present their work through poster presentations.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Glial Biology: Functional Interactions Among Glia and Neurons" 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.
