The Gordon Research Seminar on Antibody Biology and Engineering is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present, exchange ideas, and develop collaborative networks in both academia and industry. It further provides opportunities for ECRs to meet, discuss ideas with, and receive career advice from a small group of prominent, field-leading scientists in an informal and friendly atmosphere.

The theme of the 2020 Antibody Biology and Engineering GRS is on state-of-the-art or emerging technologies and techniques which are being utilized to further antibody biology knowledge and develop novel antibody therapeutics for human and veterinary diseases. The seminar will combine many aspects of antibody research, including basic antibody biology, structure, function and diversity, with a focus on methodology and techniques with a view to generate cross-disciplinary ideas and foster potential early career researcher collaboration.

The seminar will feature approximately 10 talks and 2 poster sessions. All attendees are expected to actively participate in the GRS, either by giving an oral presentation or presenting a poster. Therefore, all applications must include an abstract.

The seminar chair will select speakers from abstracts submitted by December 14, 2019. Those applicants who are not chosen for talks and those who apply after the deadline to be considered for an oral presentation will be expected to present a poster. In order to participate, you must submit an application by the date indicated in the Application Information section above.
