Conference Description
The Lipidomics community is thrilled to participate in the GRC Connects 2.0 pilot program in 2024. GRC Connects 2.0 matches a long-time attendee
at a Gordon Research Conference with a first-time attendee to ensure new attendees feel welcomed and included as a member of the community.
Mentors and mentees will be invited to meet at a reception from 5:00 p.m.- 6:00 p.m. on Sunday immediately prior to dinner and the Sunday
evening session. Funding has been generously provided by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation for the 2024 pilot program. If you are
interested in participating, please contact connects@grc.org. Space is limited and available on a first come, first serve basis.
ATTENTION: The GRC bus picks up and drops off at the Florence Airport (FLR) only. GRC no longer has bus service to / from the Pisa Airport.
The Lipidomics GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.
XXLipidomics is a dynamic and rapidly evolving field that aims to comprehensively study lipid molecules in cells, tissues, and biofluids. By unraveling lipid profiles, this approach can provide essential insights into biological function, health, and disease. The conference focuses on cutting-edge methodologies that provide unmatched coverage of the structural details of lipid molecules, metabolic tracing, and single-cell imaging, and their application from basic research to clinical diagnostics. The second conference in this series will continue to explore the standardization of the field, which is essential for fully realizing the potential of lipidomics. This will include the development of software tools and the integration of data with other omics disciplines.
The topics, speakers, and discussion leaders for the conference sessions are displayed below. 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 January 6, 2024. Please check back for updates.
