Phosphorylation and G-Protein Mediated Signaling Networks (GRS)

Gordon Research Seminar

New Approaches to Characterizing Molecular Mechanisms of Disease

June 14 - 15, 2014
Chairs Aileen Klein and Adam Coster

Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Phosphorylation & G-Protein Mediated Signaling Networks is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The goal of this meeting is to provide a forum for the exchange of new concepts in the field of kinase and GPCR signaling, with a particular emphasis on novel and quantitative approaches to elucidating physiological and pathological signaling cascades and their interactions. The GRS will additionally bring together young investigators to foster opportunities for future collaborations, and will provide attendees with the most recent advances in this field prior to the Phosphorylation & G-Protein Mediated Signaling Gordon Research Conference.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Phosphorylation and G-Protein Mediated Signaling Networks" 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.
