Abstract

Nuclear receptors are important in normal physiology and disease. Physicians and scientists who study nuclear receptors organize and attend conferences and symposia devoted to foundational and translational nuclear receptor research, but the field lacks a platform for early-stage investigators and aspiring leaders. In 2019, Zeynep Madak-Erdogan, Rebecca Riggins, and Matthew Sikora founded Nuclear Receptor (NR) Interdisciplinary Meeting for Progress And Collaboration Together (IMPACT, https://nrimpact.com), a collaborative group designed for early- and mid-career faculty who study nuclear receptors in any context or organism [1]. NR IMPACT addresses challenges for early- and mid-career faculty. Here, we review the progress of NR IMPACT and discuss how our peer-mentoring cohort is removing hurdles for new faculty and advancing nuclear receptor biology.
