Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Protein Folding Dynamics 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 Protein Folding Dynamics GRS brings together trainees investigating a wide array of topics, ranging from allosteric mechanisms underlying protein folding and function to conformational ensembles of intrinsically disordered proteins to protein design. Expertise of attendees encompasses a variety of interdisciplinary research backgrounds and approaches, including biophysics, chemistry, computer science, and mathematics, thus enabling scientific discussions that can lead to scientific breakthroughs and collaborations.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Protein Folding Dynamics" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
