The Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering 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 2017 GRS will feature three focused sessions, including:

• Building Blocks: Engineering and Understanding Tissue Microenvironments, Surfaces, Structures, and Materials

• Instructive Biomaterials: Drug Delivery, Cell/Gene Therapy, and Immunomodulation

• Interdisciplinary Research: Translational Technologies and Models

The goal of this meeting is to highlight to the breadth and range of topics within the field, but also provide an inclusively broad platform for trainees to showcase their important work. Additionally, there will be an "Alternative Career Paths" panel at the end of the meeting featuring speakers within Science Communication, Start-Ups, and Government Research, who will describe their transition from their academic (PhD or Post-Doc) positions into to their current role and stick around for questions and discussion.

Interested applicants are encouraged to submit abstracts for a talk and/or poster within the sessions described above. Please do not hesitate to contact the chair if you have any questions or concerns.
