Crossing the Boundaries: Unraveling Molecules, Medicine, and Membrane Transport Mechanisms

The 2025 Mechanisms of Membrane Transport GRC conference will focus on the discovery of new membrane transport proteins, innovative methodologies for studying membrane transport, and the identification of new pharmacological interventions for various neurological diseases. It will delve into how membrane transport mechanisms contribute to health and disease. During the meeting, we will feature new data on diverse mechanisms of channel gating, novel discoveries in primary and secondary active transport, and advances in drug discovery for membrane proteins. Additionally, there will be an emphasis on understanding the macromolecular assemblies of membrane transport proteins and establishing a connection to their physiological context. Furthermore, we will highlight cutting-edge membrane protein techniques such as single-molecule fluorescence microscopy, super-resolution microscopy, cryo-electron microscopy and tomography, as well as novel approaches in structure-based drug design.
