Conference Description
The Phosphorylation and G-Protein Mediated Signaling Networks 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scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages.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 an array 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.
This conference is devoted to understanding the mechanisms by which G protein, kinase, and phosphatase signaling pathways dictate physiological responses at the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels. These pathways were first identified for their role in relaying and amplifying extracellular signals into intracellular responses, driving physiological responses necessary for survival. It is now appreciated that these proteins also amplify and regulate signaling events initiated at intracellular sites and which lead to different health-relevant outcomes. Elucidating these molecular mechanisms requires studies at all scales, from individual proteins to whole organisms, and the development of novel tools and techniques. The ability to control and manipulate these pathways holds immense therapeutic promise for treating cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders, chronic pain, and many conditions. The 2026 conference will continue our long-standing tradition of bringing together leaders in the field with early career investigators to share cutting-edge discoveries and continue to drive this field forward.
The conference will consist of nine sessions, on the topics listed below. The conference chair is currently developing their preliminary program, which will include the names of the invited speakers and discussion leaders for each of these sessions. The preliminary program will be available by September 17, 2025. Please check back for updates.
