Conference Description
The Gordon Research Seminar on Multi-Drug 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.
For its third edition, the 2019 GRS on Multi-Drug Efflux Systems will provide the opportunity for young scientists to communicate their work and to meet other scientists in the field in a relaxed and informal setting. This meeting aims to bring together young and senior scientists to share their ideas, create collaborative networks and to innovate together by integrating the physiological knowledge of efflux systems with the development of novel applications in medicine and/or biotechnology.
Main topics to be discussed:
- Physiological Roles of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Efflux Systems
- Insights into Drug Discovery and Development
- Molecular Mechanisms Driving Multi-Drug Efflux of Opioids, Antibiotics and Anti-Cancer Drugs
- Biotechnological Approaches to Multi-Drug Efflux Systems
- In Silico Approaches: Virtual Screening, Toxicity of Novel Drugs, Molecular Modeling
- Methods in Structural Biology: CryoEM, X-ray Crystallography, NMR
To finalize and complete this program, the GRS will also include a mentorship component centered around grant writing/scientific networking bringing senior scientists from different parts of the world.
This GRS will encourage young scientists to actively participate in the following Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Multi-Drug Efflux Systems, which will be held from April 28-May 3.
