Vascular Cell Biology GRC 2027: Vascular Resilience—Mechanisms, Function, and Disease
Cardiovascular Physiology and Cell Biology conference by Gordon Research Conferences
About
Examine how endothelial cells, smooth-muscle cells and pericytes establish vascular networks and sustain organ function through development and aging. Mechanistic sessions connect RNA and chromatin regulation with organelle signalling, mechanotransduction and tissue remodelling. Studies of vascular heterogeneity and inter-organ communication link these processes to malformations and disease, while imaging, multimodal omics and computational methods provide routes toward therapeutic discovery.
10–15 January: Sunday check-in starts at 14:00 and scientific introductions at 19:30; Friday departure is at 09:00. Times: America/Los_Angeles (PST, UTC−08:00). Apply by 13 December through myGRC; acceptance is selective and capacity limited. Applicants need a science/engineering bachelor’s degree or accepted equivalent; undergraduates are ineligible. Fees: US$1,890 single room, US$1,525 shared room or US$1,015 off-site. The associated GRS requires a separate application.
