Abstract

The Gordon Research Seminar on CAG Triplet Repeat Disorders 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 focus of the current GRS is to allow for presentation and discussion by junior scientists working on the molecular mechanisms of disease as well as progress made in translational research for treatments of the CAG triplet repeat disorders. This meeting will feature a keynote address by Dr. Sarah Tabrizi, in addition to oral and poster presentations from early-career scientists. During the meeting, scientific discussion with peers is encouraged and there are opportunities for networking with mentors from academia and industry to discuss career paths for the future.
