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scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages.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.
