Complexity in Proteins

The Proteins 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scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages.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.

Protein science is continuing a dramatic renaissance with the emergence of ever-more powerful methods of structural biology, computation, and molecular biology. The arena of practical applications of protein science continues to expand explosively. The 2023 Proteins GRC will highlight “complexity in proteins” by bringing together experimental, theoretical and computational biochemists, biophysicists, chemists, chemical biologists, biologists and bioengineers who study the diverse aspects of protein science including protein function, dynamics, thermodynamics and structure using cutting-edge techniques and strategies. The strong history of the Proteins GRC promises an outstanding conference experience for participants at all career stages. Invited speakers will highlight a wide range of approaches for addressing critical and emerging problems and applications in protein science. Numerous speaking opportunities are reserved for young investigators and for late-breaking results presented in short talk slots and "poster preview" talks in the GRC. Poster sessions provide additional venues for broad dissemination of participants' research and deeper discussions of research findings. This GRC will be preceded by an accompanying GRS and will held in the beautiful setting of the White Mountains at Holderness, New Hampshire. Through collegial formal sessions, lunchtime round table discussion themes, poster sessions, social events, and afternoon recreational activities, ideas will flow freely between sub-disciplines and generations. The 2023 rendition of the Proteins GRC will provide a wonderful opportunity for the community to rekindle its spirit after the long pause brought about by the now fading pandemic.
