Many diseases are frequently associated with excessive, reduced or inappropriate cell death.

The 2016 Gordon Research Conference on Cell Death will foster unencumbered scientific exchange, focusing on mechanisms that specify cell death in normal development and in various pathologies.

The conference will accelerate discovery in these areas and will also advance new opportunities for therapeutic intervention in the many diseases that are caused by mis-regulated cell death, such as cancer, auto-immune diseases, neurodegeneration and other age-associated disorders.

The Conference will gather established experts who are leaders in the field as well as junior scientists, postdocs and graduate students to share discoveries and exchange ideas.

Some poster presenters will be selected for oral presentations. The intimate format and collegial atmosphere of this Conference is designed to enable brainstorming and promote collaborations.
