Gordon Research Seminar

Metal ions are fundamental to bioinorganic chemistry, playing essential roles in catalyzing biochemical reactions and maintaining metal homeostasis. They are indispensable for sustaining biological processes on Earth. Over the years, researchers have developed a range of scientific tools—including synthetic inorganic chemistry, spectroscopy, structural biology, protein engineering, and computational modeling—to investigate the functions of metals in biological systems. As research advances, new insights continue to emerge, deepening our understanding of the diverse roles and mechanisms of metal ions in life.

Gordon Research Conference (GRC)

The Metals in Biology 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scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages.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 an array 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. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.

Molecular Biology,    Biochemistry and Medicinal Chemistry, Toxicology

Biannual event that brings together supramolecular chemists and scientists from related fields to discuss cutting-edge research and recent developments in areas ranging from supramolecular polymers, metal-organic structures, molecular cages, supramolecular machinery and dynamic systems, life-like assemblies, and biomimetic materials.

Society of Biological Inorganic Chemistry

The Latin American Meeting on Biological Inorganic Chemistry (LABIC) is a biennial conference that has previously been hosted by countries across the region, including Brazil, where it has been held jointly with the BMIC, (2008, 2010, 2012, and 2018), as well as Argentina (2014), Mexico (2016), Uruguay (2021), Chile (2023), and Cuba (2024). In 2026, LABIC returns to Brazil to align with the BMIC again, reinforcing their long-standing collaboration in bioinorganic chemistry.
