PGTME invites all junior scholars (broadly construed) who study ethical issues in pediatric gene therapy to submit an abstract for or register to attend this year's Early Career Scholars Meeting. Suggested topics include: 1) genetic interventions; 2) drug development, evidence generation, and regulation; 3) pediatric research; 4) clinical trial participation; 5) post-approval use of novel therapeutics.
The purpose of this meeting is to showcase the work of early career scholars and facilitate connections between junior scholars working in similar fields. The meeting will feature an introduction from PGTME co-chair Dr. Alison Bateman-House, networking opportunities, flash presentations from your fellow junior scholars, keynote presentations from both academics and funders (to be announced), and an open forum to connect with other attendees. We view the terms “junior" and "early career scholar” expansively: you don’t need to have a certain degree, title, appointment, etc. to participate. What you do need is interest in connecting with your peers by sharing your past, present, or planned research, and willingness to serve as a participatory, engaged audience for the other attendees.
The abstract submission deadline is September 1st, 2026 at 11:59pm ET.
Please note: abstract submission is not required for registration, although it is encouraged!
Event start time: 11:00 am
