The focus of this meeting is Antimicrobial Host Defense Peptides which have been implicated in infection, inflammation, cancer and autoimmunity. As such, the 2023 Gordon Research Seminar on Antimicrobial Host Defense Peptides will focus on the biological function and mechanisms of action of these peptides in health and disease, and how their properties can be exploited to provide therapeutic intervention.

Antimicrobial Host Defense Peptides: Biological Functions, Mechanisms of Action and Therapeutic Intervention

Biology,    Molecular Biology

This conference will focus on the expanding repertoire of antimicrobial host defence peptides, their biological functions, and translational applications. The conference will feature a wide range of topics to highlight the complexity of mechanisms that control the production of these peptides, structure-to-function associations, and the extensive range of biological activity in human, animal and other model systems. Success of translational research requires a comprehensive appreciation of the extensive range of structures, functions and applications of the thousands of antimicrobial host defence peptides discovered to date. Accordingly, the various themes included in this conference will span from discovery to commercialization.

Antimicrobial Host Defence Peptides: Diverse Functions, Mechanisms and Applications

Biology,    Molecular Biology

The conference will explore the molecular science and engineering of materials based on peptides and their derivatives and mimics, including both fundamental research in peptide design, synthesis, assembly, molecular conjugation, micellization, gelation, coacervation, phase behavior, and diverse technological applications such as functional materials for energy storage, catalysis, drug delivery, imaging, regenerative medicine, adhesion, protein purification, and biomineralization as well as structural materials such as high performance fibers, 2-D materials, and hierarchical 3D materials. Instead of focusing on the therapeutic, biological and electronic properties of individual peptides, this meeting is intended to highlight the materials properties that emerge from, and are uniquely associated with, the self-assembly, fabrication, and organization of peptidic units in solution, in bulk, or at interfaces. Molecular designs based on natural and non-natural amino acids, and their mimics, such as peptoids, are core to the proposed meeting, and materials research in polypeptides and multimeric and folded proteins will also be covered.

Fundamentals, Design Strategies and Applications

Organic Chemistry and Polymers,    Chemicals and Materials Science

Bioinorganic chemistry bridges disciplines to understand the ways life has evolved around metal ions. Metals play critical roles in processes such as small molecule activation, biosynthetic pathways, energy conversion, nutrient transport, and many others. A variety of tools, including synthetic chemistry, spectroscopy, imaging, enzymology, protein engineering/evolution, and computation, are used to advance our understanding of the chemical space occupied by metals in biology. The Bioinorganic Chemistry GRS is celebrating its 25th year of bringing young scientists together. This meeting provides an environment for trainees (graduate students, postdocs, and other researchers at a comparable career level) to present their work in a supportive, collaborative environment and build a professional network with their peers. Sessions will be moderated by a diverse selection of discussion leaders excited to serve as field experts and mentors. The meeting culminates in a shared keynote and poster session with the associated Metals in Biology GRC.

Inorganic Insights into Fundamental Life Processes

Biology,    Analytical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry

Metal centers play critical roles in a wide range of essential biological processes. To accomplish this, they nucleate and form biomolecular structures; carry molecules, ions, and electrons; serve as centers for catalysis; and participate in regulation and signaling. Metabolism links biology to the environment via the global cycles of the elements including nitrogen, sulfur, and carbon. Investigating how organisms acquire and utilize metals thus is critical to our understanding of biological mechanisms and their intersection with the global environment. Our growing understanding of the diverse reactivity of biological metals has inspired chemists to develop molecules and materials that mimic biological structures and activities. The resulting design and synthesis of bioinspired molecules, especially catalysts, has yielded detailed insights into biological function, while also moving the field of inorganic chemistry in new directions. The Metals in Biology GRC brings together scientists from diverse backgrounds to present and discuss recent progress in this area. Experts in chemistry, physics, biology, environmental science, and biomedicine at a range of career stages will participate.

Harnessing and Mimicking the Reactivity of Biological Metals for a Healthy and Sustainable Future

The upcoming "Advances in Chemical Biology" conference will feature latest research from all hot topics in chemical biology. It covers the chemical biology of nucleic acids and proteins, peptides and carbohydrates and includes topics such as high-throughput assays, target identification, targeted synthesis concepts and phenotypic screening.

Société de Chimie Thérapeutique

This annual European event organized by the SCT (Société de Chimie Thérapeutique) usually brings together around 200 young researchers (15-20 nationalities) in the disciplines of Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology.

The 2023 NO GRS will focus on interdisciplinary studies and applications of NO. It will feature oral and poster presentations on outstanding and unpublished work in broad topic areas including generation, detection and regulation of NO and related reactive species in biological systems. We encourage trainees in the areas of NO biosynthesis, physiology and signaling to apply as the NO GRS will provide a unique opportunity for early career researchers.

Biology and Chemistry of NO and Reactive Species in Physiology and Pathology

In this first Nitric Oxide focused meeting since the pandemic we will focus on the role that NO plays both in health and disease. Furthermore, we will examine the molecular mechanisms that regulate these functions. Topics will range from the role of NO in pulmonary function and COVID itself to optimal function with tissues such as skeletal muscle. Our goal is to create a diverse atmosphere and vibrant discussion that will lead to advances in the field and encourage the development of young and old scientists alike in the field of nitric oxide biology and chemistry.

Molecular Mechanisms of Nitric Oxide Signaling in Health and Disease

The Physiology, Biology and Pathology of Phosphate GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships.

For many years, nucleos(t)ide analogues and nucleic acids have served as cornerstones of drug design and development efforts. The Nucleosides, Nucleotides and Oligonucleotides (NNO) Gordon Research Conference is dedicated to understanding the fundamental chemistry, biology, and technologies for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases using nucleos(t)ides and nucleic acid analogues. In recent years nucleic acids have seen wide use in chemical biology investigations as well as in the clinic as therapeutics and diagnostics. Emerging areas like CRISPR gene editing and siRNA have been developed due to the extensive efforts of many in the NNO field. The 2023 edition will be the 21st NNO GRC and will reflect the evolution of the field and the current explosive growth of NNO based therapeutics, from its original focus on purine and pyrimidine chemistry and biology, to the much broader current scope.
