Abstract

The Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Red Cells is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present new data, exchange cutting-edge ideas, and gain career development immediately prior to the Red Cells Gordon Research Conference (GRC) at the same venue. The scientific focus of the 2019 meeting encompasses every aspect of red cell formation and function, including embryonic and adult erythropoiesis, transcriptional regulation, metabolism, cytoskeletal regulation, the function of red cell in circulation, red cell diseases, and emerging therapies. The Red Cells GRS gives early-career attendees the opportunity to discuss their current research through talks and poster sessions. Attendees will enjoy a relaxed, collegial environment to discuss future career options with their peers through a career panel featuring scientists from academic and non-academic appointments, and senior scientists in red cell research.
