Unraveling the Mechanisms of Membrane Transport: Structure, Dynamics and Allosteric Regulation

The Mechanisms of Membrane Transport GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.

The 2023 Gordon Conference on Mechanisms of Membrane Transport will continue the tradition of providing a forum to discuss recent and emerging research on the structure, function and physiology of macromolecules responsible for membrane transport. This year, the conference will highlight the complex assemblies and dynamic behavior of these proteins in native environments, with a focus on molecular mechanisms of regulation. The program will also feature cutting edge experimental and computational methodologies employed at the forefront of our field.

This conference will also continue the tradition of providing a platform for early-career scientists to present and discuss their work. The program will include talks from both established and early-career researchers and there are numerous speaking slots reserved for students and postdoctoral researchers that will be selected from submitted the abstracts. Daily poster sessions will provide multiple opportunities for in-depth scientific discussions. Continuing our newly established tradition, a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on the Mechanisms of Membrane Transport will be held immediately prior to the conference, building on the successful Seminars held in the past. The Seminar, organized by trainee scientists, will provide an additional forum to highlight research, network with colleagues, as well as to discuss challenges of the early career stages.

We strongly encourage conference applications by junior and senior scientists internationally, by underrepresented minority scientists and those with disabilities. Funds will be raised to support some costs of those with financial constraints.
