Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Bioorganic Chemistry 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.

The first Gordon Research Seminar in Bioorganic Chemistry (featuring Peter Schultz as the keynote speaker) will focus on chemical approaches to answering some of biology's biggest questions while providing graduate students and postdocs the opportunity to become acquainted with their peers prior to the GRC, to share and listen to cutting-edge research, and to network with each other.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Bioorganic Chemistry" Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). 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.
