Plant Molecular Biology 2014 Gordon Research Conference (Decision-Making Pathways, Networks, and Models in Plant Biology)
Chairs: Steven Briggs, Ryan Sartor and Mary Lou Guerinot (Vice Chair)
WHERE: Holderness School, Holderness, NH
This conference will bring together a collection of investigators who are at the forefront of their fields and feature presentations on cutting edge plant research that broadly covers the most exciting recent advances in plant molecular biology. The focus is on decision-making mechanisms that enable changes in developmental fate or acclimation to biotic or abiotic stress. The field of plant molecular biology is very rapidly integrating omics-level technologies that are changing the way research is conducted and greatly increasing the scope of investigative queries. This conference will showcase current omics-enabled research and highlight ways these new technologies are improving our ability to study plant molecular biology.
Gordon Research Conferences strive to provide opportunities for junior scientists and graduate students to interact formally and informally with leaders in the field. In addition, the first Plant Molecular Biology Gordon Research Seminar (Exploring High Throughput Data Sets) will be held July 19th - 20th. This short seminar is intended to provide a forum for young scientists to network and present their research in a relatively low-key setting prior to the GRC. This GRS will have a special focus on analysis of high-throughput plant data sets. We encourage applications from grad students and postdocs who are currently involved in plant research that is making use of high-throughput data sets of any kind.
The GRC and GRS will take place at an outstanding venue in the White Mountains of New Hampshire with excellent food/drink plus opportunities for swimming and hiking in the afternoons.
