2016 marks the 10th anniversary of the Gordon Research Conference on Membrane Transport Proteins, which has been held every two years since 1998.
Our vision for the upcoming conference is to link molecular and mechanistic insights on clinically important membrane transporters - including carriers, ion channels and pumps, to human disease. Along with new topics on rational drug design, mining big data and perspectives from Pharma, we will continue to focus on protein structure and dynamics, cell biology and physiological function of membrane transporters.
The conference will highlight translational aspects of membrane transport proteins as targets in neurological and psychiatric disorders as well as the gamut of human diseases including cardiovascular, diabetes and cancer. Sessions will include emerging technologies in stem cells, proteomics, gene editing, and 3-D organoids in the context of their application to membrane transport proteins.
The guiding principle of a Gordon Conference is the presentation of new, unpublished work and the free, unhampered discussion that follows. This tradition of freely sharing ideas is due in large part to GRC's "off the record" policy which prohibits photography or tape recording of sessions or the publication of conference proceedings. Each session will include slots for speakers selected from abstracts as well as late-breaking research. Summer in Tuscany promises to be beautiful, join us there!
The topics and speakers for the conference sessions are displayed below (italics denote discussion leaders). The Conference Chair is currently developing their detailed program, which will include the complete meeting schedule, as well as the talk titles for all speakers. The detailed program will be available by February 12, 2016. Please check back for updates.
