Conference Description
The Molecular and Cellular Biology of Lipids 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scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages.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.
The 2025 MCBL Gordon Conference will place a particular focus on re-envisioning the fluid mosaic model of membrane-lipid nteractions with next-generation technologies. The fluid mosaic model revolutionized our understanding of membrane-lipid interactions when it was proposed about 50 years ago. While the fundamental structure proposed by this model remains valid, re-envisioning the model in light of the wealth of knowledge made possible by new analytical tools is essential to advance our understanding of the role of membrane lipids in cellular function. The 2025 MCBL will incorporate and build on the major successful strategies of previous meetings to explore this unique focus.
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 March 29, 2025. Please check back for updates.
