Conference Description
The Lysosomes and Endocytosis Gordon Conference (formerly Lysosomes Gordon Conference) began in 1967. The first conference was chaired by Christian de Duve who subsequently was awarded a Nobel Prize for his discovery of lysosomes through cell fractionation techniques. In 1970 the conference began meeting every 2 years with chairs such as Zanvil Cohn, Dorothy Bainton, Elizabeth Neufeld, William Sly, Ann Hubbard, Fred Maxfield, Stuart Kornfeld, Sandra Schmid, Juan Bonifacino, Scott Emr, and Tom Kirchhausen. Over the years, the conference has undergone a transition from a primary focus on lysosomes and diseases caused by defective lysosome function, to a broader purview that more recently has included: molecular mechanisms of protein and lipid sorting in the biosynthetic and endocytic pathways to lysosomes; the roles of these transport pathways in the functions of specialized cells such as neurons, immune cells, pigment cells and polarized epithelial cells; the connections between signal transduction and endocytic pathway function; and the ways viral and bacterial pathogens exploit or modify these pathways during infection. The conference has also served as a major forum for discussion and dissemination of new methodologies. It was founded on the novel application of cell fractionation and electron microscopy techniques to membrane cell biology. Through the years additional approaches to study lysosomes and lysosomal trafficking pathways have been introduced such as cell-free transport assays, genetic and molecular genetic strategies, atomic resolution structural analysis, and live cell imaging. A Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) is held in conjunction with this Conference. Click here for more information about the associated GRS.
