Protein Processing, Trafficking and Secretion (GRS)

Gordon Research Seminar

Novel Techniques to Identify Molecular Mechanisms of Protein Processing and Trafficking

July 14 - 15, 2018

Chairs Stephanie Duval and Stephen C. Ireland

Colby-Sawyer College

541 Main Street

New London, NH, US

Venue and Travel Information

Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Protein Processing, Trafficking and Secretion 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.

This meeting will cover various advances in typical protein processing as well as unexpected roles of proteases. The meeting will also cover membrane dynamics and vesicle formation with a specific focus on novel technologies to address fundamental questions.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Protein Processing, Trafficking and Secretion" 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.
