GPCR Structure, Function and Drug Discovery Conference

Conference - Cambridge, MA, United States

G protein-coupled receptors are the largest family of protein receptors and account for one of the largest classes of targets for drugs currently on the market. Recent breakthrough in the structural biology of GPCRs has opened up the potential for this new knowledge to greatly impact drug discovery.

The GPCR conference seeks to provide a forum for researchers from both industry and academia to exchange complimentary perspectives on the latest discovery. We will cover topics such as biased signaling, novel ligands, X-ray crystallography, and many more. Join us to discuss the future of drug discovery and the role of GPCRs!

Sessions for the meeting include:

       I. Allosteric Modulators & Biased Signaling
       II. Membrane Protein Structures
       III. GPCR Dynamics & Signaling
       IV. Computational Modeling And Structural Dynamics of GPCRs
       V. GPCRs in Disease
