Linking Molecular Mechanisms to Biological Functions of Transporters Through Innovation and Multidisciplinary Approaches

The Gordon Research Seminar on Multidrug Efflux Systems is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The 2017 GRS on Multidrug Efflux Systems will offer excellent opportunities for young scientists to communicate with world-leading academic and industry scientists in an informal setting. The meeting aims to create an environment of innovation, where young scientists studying multidrug efflux systems from different perspectives or using different approaches are able to share their ideas and establish collaborative networks that will last into the future.

Topics covered by an interdisciplinary selection of speakers will include:

• Biochemical studies of efflux pumps
• Physiological importance and clinical relevance
• Omics approaches for studying efflux pumps
• Applications to drug discovery: inhibitors, screening systems and in silico approaches

To complement the program, the meeting will also include a mentoring session centered around a career development panel that will bring career perspectives from academia and industry.

This GRS will encourage young scientists to actively participate in the following Gordon Research Conference on Multidrug Efflux Systems, which will be held from March 26-31.
