Structural and Functional Interplay of Intracellular Ion Channels and Transporters

The Organellar Channels and Transporters GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.

This meeting will focus on recent scientific advances into the structural and functional interplay of ion channels and transporters. The discussion topics will be focused on intracellular ion channels and transporters, including but not limited to: high-resolution (cryo-EM and X-ray crystallographic) structures, membrane trafficking and localization, physiological regulation and synthetic pharmacology, electrophysiology, protein interactions, optical imaging of inter-organellar contacts, and their applications in basic research, drug design, and preclinical studies.

With the foundations and knowledge gained during the GRS sessions, we strongly encourage our GRS participants to extend this fulfilling scientific experience by attending the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Organellar Channels and Transporters that will take place immediately following the GRS.
