 Venue and Travel Information

Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Immunochemistry & Immunobiology 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.

The main focus of the GRS will be on novel approaches to studying and modulating the immune system that have implications for human health.

An equally important aim of the GRS is to leverage the experience of senior investigators to jump-start the careers of the next generation. In particular, the GRS will include a mentorship panel featuring the key characteristics of successful investigators, identifying scientific environments in which to thrive, and crafting a rich and satisfying life in science.

Related Meeting

This GRC will be held in conjunction with the "Immunochemistry and Immunobiology" Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRS in addition to an application for the GRC. Refer to the associated GRS program page for more information.
