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This seminar aims to create a platform for the discussion of unpublished discoveries and emerging methodologies in glial biology.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 While short talks will be chosen from abstract submissions of unpublished findings, all GRS attendees will have the chance to present their work through poster presentations.
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 December 1, 2024. 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.
