Conference Description
The Molecular Pharmacology 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 meeting focuses on G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) as druggable targets, putting fundamental molecular pharmacology research into drug discovery perspective. We welcome doctoral and postdoctoral scientists to join us in sharing their research with fellow early-career scientists. The seminar will focus on 1) the discovery of ligands, 2) the structure and dynamics of ligand-GPCR interaction and receptor signalling, and 3) approaches to modulate GPCR signalling. Importantly, there will be a focus on harnessing knowledge of these in the process of developing successful therapeutics. The GRS provides unique opportunities for early-career researchers for career development through a session focused on career paths and mentorship, led by experienced scientists from different research backgrounds. Last but not least, GRS encourages an environment that stimulates active discussion and engagement in the sessions facilitated by experienced and trainee moderators.
Application Instructions
The seminar will feature approximately 10 talks and 2 poster sessions. All attendees are expected to actively participate in the GRS, either by giving an oral presentation or presenting a poster. Therefore, all applications must include an abstract.
The seminar chair will select speakers from abstracts submitted by November 10, 2024. Those applicants who are not chosen for talks and those who apply after the deadline to be considered for an oral presentation will be expected to present a poster. In order to participate, you must submit an application by the date indicated in the Application Information section above.
