Bones and Teeth Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) is organized by Gordon Research Conferences (GRC) and will be held from Feb 01 - 02, 2020 at Hotel Galvez and Spa, Galveston, Texas, United States of America. Conference Description: The Gordon Research Seminar on Bones and Teeth 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. Many scientific questions remain about the physiological mechanisms that govern the homeostasis of the skeleton. Current research in bone biology aims to answer these questions in order to facilitate the development of novel therapies for skeletal diseases. At the 2020 Bones and Teeth GRS, we intend to focus on therapeutics for bone disorders: From understanding the mechanisms regulating the skeleton to developing therapies. We hope to introduce early career scientists to novel perspectives and innovative techniques by creating a bridge between basic and translational research.

Bones and Teeth Gordon Research Conference (GRC) is organized by Gordon Research Conferences (GRC) and will be held from Feb 02 - 07, 2020 at Hotel Galvez and Spa, Galveston, Texas, United States of America. Conference Description: Despite impressive advances in our understanding of the cellular, molecular and genetic mechanisms governing normal skeletal development and homeostasis, diseases of the skeleton, including osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, fracture repair failure, bone cancer, and periodontitis continue to be major contributors to adult morbidity and mortality. By bringing together experts in signal transduction, extracellular matrix (ECM) biology, stem cell biology, developmental biology, molecular genetics, physiology, endocrinology, aging, and emerging technologies, the 2020 Bones and Teeth GRC hopes to capture the tremendous momentum and progress in the field, inspire new research directions, and foster new collaborations aimed at advancing therapeutic development in the skeletal arena. The theme of the 2020 Bones and Teeth GRC is "The Life of the Skeleton". Starting with an introduction to signaling circuits, stem cells, and ECM, we examine the events directing skeletal homeostasis in chronological order, and at specific temporal inflection points compare and contrast the appendicular, axial and craniofacial skeletal responses. We also discuss emerging technologies that allow us to investigate skeletal biology in new ways, and end our meeting by focusing on whether repair/regeneration of adult skeletal tissues is a return to principles that govern embryonic skeletal development, or representative of a new stage of skeletal biology, a controversial topic vital to development of successful therapeutic approaches in the adult skeleton. Conference Program: The conference will consist of nine sessions, on the topics listed below. The conference chair is currently developing their preliminary program, which will include the names of the invited speakers and discussion leaders for each of these sessions. The preliminary program will be available by July 1, 2019. Please check back for updates. • Stem Cells, Extracellular Matrix and Signaling Pathways that Govern Skeletal Biology • Developmental Biology on the Move • Establishing Stem Cell Niches Within Bones and Teeth • Adult Skeleton Physiology • Skeleton and Disease: Changes in Signals, Stem Cells, and Niches • Skeletal Compartment Communication • Using New Technologies to Answer Research Questions in Skeletal Biology • The Aging Skeleton • Repair and Regeneration of Bones and Teeth.

Biology of Acute Respiratory Infection Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) 2020 is organized by Gordon Research Conferences (GRC) and will be held from Feb 15 - 16, 2020 at Hotel Galvez and Spa, Galveston, Texas, United States of America. Description: The Gordon Research Seminar on Biology of Acute Respiratory Infection 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. Because maintenance of lung function is critical to life, both pathogens and the host must balance immunity and inflammation in order to survive. The focus of this meeting is how this balance affects acute lung infection, including through polymicrobial infections, the microbiome, environmental effects, immune tolerance, and anti-microbial and immune supporting therapies. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

Biology of Acute Respiratory Infection Gordon Research Conference (GRC) is organized by Gordon Research Conferences (GRC) and will be held from Feb 16 - 21, 2020 at Hotel Galvez and Spa, Galveston, Texas, United States of America. Description: Respiratory infections are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Yet, our understanding of the biology and treatment of acute respiratory infections, especially in high-risk populations, is incomplete. The 2020 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) Biology of Acute Respiratory Infection will bring together groups of scientists, from basic to applied, public health officials and clinicians that normally do not attend the same meetings to highlight new findings and concepts in respiratory tract infections including, disease in vulnerable populations, intrinsic, innate and adaptive immune responses, infection-mediated exacerbations in individuals with lung diseases, the future for respiratory vaccines and exciting new models and tools. An international group of experts has been assembled to provide cutting-edge overviews of these rapidly evolving topics. In association with the Gordon Research Seminar (GRS), we will provide a welcoming forum where senior and junior scientists and clinicians/fellows can present their data, interact with their peers and form long-term collaborations in a unique area of research of utmost public health importance. Conference Program: The conference will consist of nine sessions, on the topics listed below. The conference chair is currently developing their preliminary program, which will include the names of the invited speakers and discussion leaders for each of these sessions. The preliminary program will be available by July 1, 2019. Please check back for updates. Inner Workings of Lung Cells • Viral and Bacterial Infections • Beyond Viral and Bacterial Infections •Infections in High-Risk Populations • Polymicrobial Infections • Defining Lung Immunity • Resident Immune Responses • New Concepts in Lung Infections • Advancing the Therapeutic Strategies for Respiratory Infections.
