The Structure-Function Relationship of Transporters in Health and Disease

The Gordon Research Seminar on Membrane Transport Proteins is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

This meeting is focused on the characterization of membrane transport proteins as well as methods used to understand their structure and function. Membrane transport proteins govern cellular processes in the human body through the movement of inorganic ions, small molecules and macromolecules across a membrane, playing important roles in health and disease. Novel techniques to characterize membrane proteins are highly welcomed. In addition, keynote speakers will give talks on their cutting-edge research on membrane transport proteins as well as lessons on their career paths from academia and entrepreneurship.
