This 2-day meeting will bring together biologists, physician scientists, computational biologists, and other computational experts in the early stages of their careers from the Participant Engagement and Cancer Genome Sequencing (PE-CGS) Network, Human Tumor Atlas Network (HTAN), The Human BioMolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP), Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP), GenitoUrinary Development Molecular Anatomy Project (GUDMAP), Cellular Senescence Network (SenNet), and Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) Seed Network to work towards building atlases of tissue organization at an unprecedented resolution for answering fundamental questions in human health and disease.
For the purposes of this meeting, a 'junior investigator' is defined as a graduate student, postdoc, staff scientist, or early-career faculty.
The meeting program is under-development. The meeting will include sessions on specific scientific topics (tools workshops, patient advocacy panel), career development (different careers, grant writing and branding), and networking sessions as well as several presentations by plenary speakers.
