 Venue and Travel Information

Conference Description

The Bioorganic Chemistry 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 2024 Bioorganic Gordon Research Seminar will focus on innovations in chemical tool design and the implementation of these probes and technologies for visualizing and understanding complex biological processes as well as leveraging these discoveries to drive therapeutic development. This GRS will include two poster sessions, two sessions of original research talks by graduate students and post-docs, panel(s) on mentorship and career development, and a keynote lecture. Additionally, there will be ample opportunity to have one-on-one conversations during dinner, breakfast, and poster sessions.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Bioorganic Chemistry" 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.
