Understanding the Processes Involved in Carotenoid and Apocarotenoids Seen Throughout Nature

The Carotenoids GRS welcomes young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to engage in collegial conversation. We aim to create a peer-supportive environment to present their unpublished work, discuss new methods, propose original ideas, and network amongst each other. The Carotenoids GRS hosts experienced mentors and trainee moderators to facilitate scientific discussion involving all attendees resulting in active participation throughout our GRS session. This meeting will address topics ranging within biology, biochemistry, and plant science and their respective applications and techniques used to study carotenoids, retinoids and other apocarotenoids. Topics of interest include carotenoids and apocarotenoids synthesis, regulation and functions, carotenoid associated proteins, retinoids biology, advanced extraction techniques associated with carotenoids and apocarotenoids and how these molecules impact microorganisms, plant life, human biology, and diseases. We encourage new and returning members to join us at the Carotenoids GRS.

Abstracts submitted before October 15th, 2024, will be considered for an oral presentation and will be eligible for a registration fee waiver competition.
