Conference: 2023 Enzymes, Coenzymes and Metabolic Pathways Gordon Research Seminar: Enzyme Function and Mechanism in Biology and Beyond

戈登研究研讨会（GRS）“酶，辅酶和代谢途径”研讨会将于2023年7月15日至16日在沃特维尔山谷度假村举行。这是一个针对早期职业研究人员的关键会议，专注于生物化学，工程，物理和化学的研究，他们有兴趣解剖生化反应的分子机制，以在非正式环境中分享想法和网络。本次研讨会的长期目标是促进研究生和博士后研究人员之间的互动和合作，他们有着共同的研究兴趣-研究酶在生命的基本生物过程中的作用。为了实现这些目标，GRS创建了一个由12位演讲者组成的计划（从与会者提交的摘要中选出，并由一位既定的调查员担任主旨演讲者）。这些会谈将描述当前的进展方法，酶的发现和表征，工程这些系统的工业应用，以及这些酶的疾病过程和环境的关系。GRS将举办一个职业导师小组（来自学术界，工业界和政府的年轻领导人），让学员了解酶研究领域科学家的不同职业选择。这个职业小组将帮助研究生和博士后研究人员在不同的道路之间做出决定，并与会议中代表的各种职业的小组成员建立联系。研讨会包括两个海报会议，所有与会者都可以向同行和小组成员介绍他们的工作。研讨会之后立即举行定期的GRC会议，一些与会者可能会留下来参加会议，以便有机会与高级研究人员交流和互动。本次会议得到了分子和细胞生物科学部分子生物物理学项目的支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) “Enzymes, Coenzymes and Metabolic Pathways” seminar will be held on July 15-16th, 2023, at the Waterville Valley Resort in Waterville Valley, NH. This is a pivotal conference for early-career researchers focused on the study of biochemistry, engineering, physics, and chemistry, who are interested in dissecting the molecular mechanisms of biochemical reactions to share ideas and network in an informal setting. The long-term goals of this seminar are to foster interactions and collaborations among the graduate students and postdoctoral researchers who share common research interests – studying the roles of enzymes in the biological processes that are fundamental for life. To achieve these goals, the GRS has created a program of 12 Speakers (chosen from abstracts submitted by attendees, and an established investigator as a Keynote Speaker). These talks will describe current advances in methodology, the discovery and characterization of enzymes, engineering these systems for industrial applications, and the relation of these enzymes to disease processes and the environment. The GRS will hold a Career Mentorship Panel ( young leaders from academia, industry, and government), to expose the trainees to different career options as scientists in the field of enzyme research. This career panel will help graduate students and postdoctoral researchers decide between different paths and to network with the panelists in the various careers represented in the session. The seminar includes two poster sessions where all attendees can present their work to their peers and the panelists. The seminar is immediately followed by the regular GRC conference and some attendees may stay for the conference to have opportunity to mingle and interact with senior investigators. This meeting was supported by the Molecular Biophysics program in the Division of Molecular and cellular Biosciences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
