Neurotrophic Factors Gordon Research Conference (GRC)

Neurotrophic Factors Gordon Research Conference (GRC) is organized by Gordon Research Conferences (GRC) and would be held during Jun 04 - 09, 2017 at Salve Regina University, Newport, Rhode Island, United States Of America.

The targeted audience for this medical event basically for neurologists. Gordon Research Conferences (GRC) are 5-day meetings that bring scientists together from around the world to present and discuss unpublished research with other leaders in their field.

The thirteenth Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Neurotrophic Factors will provide a multidisciplinary and intimate environment for discussing the latest advances in the field of neurotrophic factors. The 2017 meeting is based upon the idea that if we can understand basic cellular and molecular mechanisms of neurotrophic factor actions, then we can employ those lessons to understand how these factors influence behavior and disease. The meeting therefore includes sessions on the basic biology of neurotrophic factors (neurotrophin signaling, regulation of PNS and CNS development by neurotrophic factors, growth factors and neural stem cells, intracellular trafficking and local signaling, and mechanisms of axonal growth and degeneration), together with sessions describing their involvement in plasticity, behavior and disease.
