GRC 2013 Antimicrobial Peptides: Discovery, Function and Application

Gordon Research Conference - Ventura, California, U.S.A.

The 2013 Gordon Conference on Antimicrobial Peptides will present the latest research on the biology and activities of AMPs with emphasis on their roles in host defense against all forms of microbial pathogens. The Conference will feature a wide range of topics, such as structure/function analysis, regulation of expression, mechanisms of action, microbial avoidance strategies, human disease associations and model systems, and the development of antimicrobial peptides and their mimetics as therapeutics. Invited speakers represent a diverse variety of scientific disciplines, including biochemistry, molecular genetics, microbiology, animal and plant biology, structural biology, medicine, innate immunity, signaling, and drug development. The Conference will bring together a collection of investigators who are at the forefront of their field, and will provide opportunities for junior scientists and graduate students to present their work in poster format and exchange ideas with leaders in the field.  The collegial atmosphere of this Conference, with programmed discussion sessions as well as opportunities for informal gatherings in the afternoons and evenings, provides an avenue for scientists from different disciplines to brainstorm and promotes cross-disciplinary collaborations in the various research areas represented.
