Conference Description
The Protein Processing, Trafficking and Secretion 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.
Protein trafficking is fundamental to cellular organization and communication. The precise movement of proteins through the secretory and endocytic pathways ensures proper folding, modification, and delivery to their destinations. Disruptions in these processes underlie a wide spectrum of human diseases, from neurodegeneration and immune disorders to cancer and metabolic syndromes. Understanding the mechanisms of protein trafficking provides critical insights into disease pathology and opens avenues for targeted therapies.
This GRS will feature a keynote lecture and mentoring session led by leading scientists in both the public and private sectors. This conference will help foster a community and encourage collaborations for the next generation of research scientists in this field. Attendees will have the opportunity to present their research in a poster session. Presenters for a short talk will also be selected via the abstract in the conference application; please be sure to submit your application by April 12, 2026 if you wish to be considered for a short talk.
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 May 19, 2026. Please check back for updates.
