Conference Description
The Plant Proteolysis 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.
This GRS is an engaging platform dedicated to early-career scientists interested in exploring the significance of proteolysis in plant development, abiotic stress tolerance, and pathogen defense. This seminar aims to provide a platform to explore the cellular pathways and molecular mechanisms behind trafficking and degradation, highlighting the latest multi-omics technologies and their application in plant biology. The two-day seminar offers a conducive environment for participants to present their research, engage in stimulating discussions on innovative concepts, and establish collaborative relationships with their peers. Moreover, this GRS includes a career mentoring discussion panel designed to offer insights and guidance from experienced mentors on navigating the journey from academic training to professional roles in science.
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 November 19, 2024. Please check back for updates.
