The Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterases 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.
Researchers will embark on a comprehensive journey starting from the foundational principles of phosphodiesterase (PDE) function and regulation, extending to recent advancements in understanding cyclic nucleotide signaling, and arriving at the identification of novel therapeutic targets in disease and throughout the lifespan. The seminar will also explore emerging technologies designed to unravel the complexities of cyclic nucleotide PDE signaling.
A key highlight of the GRS program will be the career mentorship session, during which speakers with extensive academic and industrial experience will provide valuable insight into professional development strategies to help navigate the ever-evolving research landscape. Early career researchers will be encouraged to actively participate in informal discussions aimed at de-mystifying the route to academic progression as well as the process of transitioning between academia and industry.
The GRS on Cyclic Nucleotide PDEs serves as a dynamic platform for attendees to present and discuss their latest research, explore emerging paradigms, and engage in mentorship opportunities to foster their career development. It will be held on the weekend immediately prior to the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Cyclic Nucleotide PDEs which brings together seasoned investigators, emerging new leaders, and trainees from academia, pharma, and biotech. GRS attendees are encouraged to also apply for the GRC in order to fully immerse themselves in the motivating environment created by the scientists moving the cyclic nucleotide PDE field forward.
