The International Society for IGF Research
2023 IGF/Insulin Gordon Research Conference – Recap
The IGF and Insulin System in Physiology and Disease Gordon Research Conference (GRC) is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research through oral and poster presentations, prioritizing time for discussion after each oral presentation and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The 2023 conference was co-chaired by Wendie Cohick and Victor Han. The program included a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. There were two keynote sessions on “Cellular Senescence and Aging: The Path to Translation” and “New Methodologies to Advance IGF and Insulin”. Other oral sessions included the following topics:
- Role of IGF and Insulin in Metabolism and Diabetes
- Tissue Homeostasis and Regeneration: Stem Cells and Cell Plasticity
- The IGF and Insulin Axis in Cancer
- IGF and Insulin System in Development and Aging
- Structure and Activation Mechanisms of Insulin, IGF and Hybrid Receptors: Recent Advances from Cryo-EM
- Nutrient Sensing Related to Lifespan and Disease
- Targeting the IGF and Insulin Axis in the Clinic
Our Journal
Did you know? The original journal of the International Society for IGF research was entitled “Growth Regulation”. GH and IGF Research started in 1998 as the journal of the two societies, GRS and IGF. It combined “Growth Regulation” and “Endocrinology and Metabolism” and coincided with the amalgamation of their publishers, Churchill Livingstone and WB Saunders.
The IGF Research Society and The Growth Hormone Socieity now publish a common journal: “The Journal of GH and IGF Research”.
