Conference Description
ATTENTION: The GRS bus picks up and drops off at the Florence Airport (FLR) only. GRC no longer has bus service to / from the Pisa Airport.
The Photosensory Receptors and Signal Transduction GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
The Photosensory Receptors and Signal Transduction GRS will discuss the most recent advancements in understanding the fundamental molecular mechanisms of photoreceptor proteins, including their role in regulating gene expression, signaling pathways, and their potential for innovative real-world applications in a wide range of fields. The seminar will begin with a framing keynote lecture and conclude with a mentoring session by two accomplished scientists on effective scientific writing and publishing strategies for young researchers.
An outline of the program components for this GRS is displayed below. The seminar chair is currently developing their detailed program schedule, which will include the speakers they select from submitted abstracts, in addition to any additional components outlined below. The detailed program will be available by January 2, 2024. Please check back for updates.
