The Gordon Research Seminar on Elastin, Elastic Fibers and Microfibrils

The Gordon Research Seminar on Elastin, Elastic Fibers and Microfibrils 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. 

This meeting brings together young scientists at the forefront of elastic fiber-related research to exchange ideas with peers and established scientific leaders. Topics to be covered encompass the latest advances in elastic fiber and microfibril-related research, including the biology of elastic tissues, molecular characterization of elastogenic components, matrix regulation of cell signaling, advances in analytical tools for elastic systems, mechanisms of elastic fiber diseases, and translational applications for tissue repair and regeneration. There is a strong focus on scientific discussion, networking, mentorship, and career development.
