The Gordon Research Seminar on Fibronectin, Integrins & Related Molecules 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 this meeting is for junior scientists to share and discuss data about the roles, mechanisms and dynamics of cell-matrix interactions. The meeting will start with a keynote address by Mark Ginsberg and will be concluded by a discussion on advances in imaging techniques by Maddy Parsons.
