CONFERENCES

Gordon Research Conference Series:

Molecular Mechanisms in Lymphatic Function and Disease

Il Ciocco hotel and Resort, Lucca (Barga), Italy, June 13-18, 2010

Gordon Research Conferences (www.grc.org) provide young researchers extraordinary exposure and access to the brightest minds in their field. We can think of no better way to ensure progress in lymphatic research than to attract the best young researchers and physician-scientists into the field. The GRC experience has the potential to galvanize the interest of a young researcher and secure her or his career commitment to the science of lymphatics and lymphatic disease.

The Lymphatic Research Foundation (LRF) is pleased to provide Gordon Research Conference poster awards to young investigators. In addition, LRF is seeking nominations for its Lymphatic Research Leadership Award which is open to all investigators, organizations, and entities.

LRF Postdoctoral Fellowship Awards Program:

The Lymphatic Research Foundation (LRF) is pleased to announce the 2010 cycle of the LRF Postdoctoral Fellowship Awards Program. The goal of the Program is to expand and strengthen the pool of outstanding junior investigators in the field of lymphatic research. The awards will support investigators who have recently received their doctorates, a critical point in career development when young scientists choose their lifelong research focus. LRF, a not-for-profit organization, is committed to promoting and supporting basic and translational research, and to fostering and interdisciplinary field of research that will result in improved understanding and/or advances in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of lymphatic disease, lymphedema, and related disorders. Projects in lymphoma or leukemia research are currently outside the scope of this program.
