Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterases 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.

The focus of this meeting is to highlight new and innovative techniques and models that are advancing our understanding of PDEs and cyclic nucleotide signaling. These include, but are not limited to: novel biosensors, molecular modeling tools and unique in vivo and in vitro models that aid in investigating PDEs and their signaling partners. The meeting will also feature a mentorship session which will explore the challenges and changing landscape of research today, and the opportunities that exist to bridge academic and industry research.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterases" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
