Conference Description

The Artificial Molecular Switches and Motors 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.

The third edition of the Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on “Artificial Molecular Motors and Switches” brings together early-career scientists to discuss recent advances in the field of molecular devices. The future opportunities for development of new varieties of molecular devices and their applications in smart materials, biological environments, sensors, precision medicine, and many more aspects of chemical science will be emphasized. We will explore how different functions arise from the structural design and how to fully harness their dynamic properties in novel applications. Scientists from multiple disciplines will get the opportunity to share their expertise to broaden theoretical and practical knowledge about this fascinating field of research as well as discussing applications of molecular machines and challenges lying ahead of us.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Artificial Molecular Switches and Motors" 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.
