UCC Academic Chairs US Science Conference
24.02.2011
The Chair of this year’s Gordon Research conference on “Insulin-like Growth Factors in Physiology and Disease”, in Ventura California (February 27th until March 3rd) is Professor Rosemary O’Connor of UCC’s Department of Biochemistry. Professor O’Connor was elected by her peers to be responsible for the scientific content of the conference as well as the selection of all speakers, discussion leaders, and attendees. The Gordon Research Conferences were initiated in the USA in the 1920s to promote free exchange of ideas at the frontiers of the biological, chemical, and physical sciences and to provide a forum where scientists with significant accomplishments and common interests come together for a week of intense formal and informal discussion of the most important developments in their field. Over the years they have become synonymous with scientific excellence. They are unique in that each member of the conference agrees to participate actively in discussions and to consider all presentations as private. This allows an unrestricted exchange of ideas that fosters new interactions and can lead to major scientific progress.
