Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterases

Gordon Research Conference

Mechanisms of PDE Nano-Domain Control and Impacts on Disease

June 12 - 17, 2016
Chairs Rodolphe P. Fischmeister and David A. Kass
Vice Chairs George S. Baillie and Christopher J. Schmidt

Conference Description

The GRC on Cyclic Nucleotide PDEs has a long and storied history, and engages investigators whose research covers the entire phosphodiesterases (PDE) superfamily. In addition to presentations on novel assessments of PDE compartmentalized-­targeting of cyclic nucleotides and related signaling, we progress through all the PDEs from 1 to 11, with leading research presented for each. Day one deals with basic principals and novel subcellular molecular tracking of cyclic nucleotide signaling and compartmentation. Day 2 starts with PDE1 and we move sequentially through to PDE11 by the end of the weeklong conference. Speakers will focus on general molecular and signaling aspects of PDEs and explore the role of various PDES in contributing to major diseases and identify novel therapeutic roles for their pharmacological modulation.

Related Meeting

This GRC will be held in conjunction with the "Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterases" Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRS in addition to an application for the GRC. Refer to the associated GRS program page for more information.
