Andover, New Hampshire, United States
 Venue and Travel Information

Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar is an exceptional meeting for early career researchers to come together, exchange new ideas, build a collaborative network and present unpublished cutting-edge data in the field of natural products.

This meeting will focus on all aspects of natural products highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of the field of natural products.

Abstracts are welcome in the fields of:

• Organic synthesis and methodology development

• Discovery, isolation and characterization of bioactive compounds

• Biosynthesis, genetic manipulation and synthetic biology

• Biological evaluation and mode action determination

The programme will include a keynote lecture and a session focused on career and professional development. Speakers for the general sessions will be chosen from submitted abstracts. Applicants not chosen for oral presentation are expected to present a poster.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Natural Products and Bioactive Compounds" 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.
