Conference: 2024 Protein Folding Dynamics Gordon Research Seminar

2024蛋白质折叠动力学戈登研究研讨会（GRS）将于2024年1月6日至7日在德克萨斯州加尔维斯顿举行。本次研讨会主要由研究生和博士后组成，并汇集了来自广泛学科的学员，讨论蛋白质折叠动力学领域的当前主题，包括蛋白质错误折叠和聚集，功能蛋白质和酶动力学，以及内在无序蛋白质的动力学。GRS为促进国际和跨学科合作提供了理想的环境。它还提供了重要的交流机会，并允许讨论和比较一系列不同的观点。一个特别的指导会议将为受训者提供一个非正式的场所，让他们从一个由早期职业教师组成的小组中了解学术求职的复杂性。2024蛋白质折叠动力学GRS将包括三个正式会议，其中包括从提交的摘要中选择的会谈，海报会议和指导小组，然后与小组成员进行分组讨论。为了反映当前在该领域的最新技术，精选的讲座分为三个主要的科学主题：蛋白质折叠动力学工具包，蛋白质进化和设计以及蛋白质相互作用和动力学。为了打造一个富有成效的、以学员为重点的会议，这个为期两天的研讨会汇集了来自不同学科的30多名实习科学家，他们的研究重点是了解蛋白质折叠和动力学的分子水平细节。将召集一个由终身教职前的教师导师组成的小组，为考虑下一阶段职业选择的学员提供资源。这些教师也将参加其他GRS会议，并可以在其中提供进一步的指导。GRS将通过解决几个核心主题来进一步推进蛋白质折叠领域，同时强调如何将实验和计算研究结合起来，从而在科学理解方面取得突破。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

The 2024 Protein Folding Dynamics Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) will be held January 6-7, 2024in Galveston, Texas. This seminar is primarily attended by a diverse group of graduate students and postdocs and brings together trainees from a wide range of disciplines to discuss current topics in the field of protein folding dynamics, including protein misfolding and aggregation, functional protein and enzyme dynamics, and the dynamics of intrinsically disordered proteins. The GRS provides an ideal setting to facilitate international and interdisciplinary collaborations. It also provides key networking opportunities, as well as allowing a range of different perspectives to be discussed and compared. A special mentorship session will provide an informal venue for the trainees to learn about the intricacies of the academic job search from a panel of early-career faculty.The 2024 Protein Folding Dynamics GRS will comprise of three formal sessions, which include talks selected from submitted abstracts, poster sessions, and a mentorship panel followed by breakout discussions with panelists. To reflect the current state-of-the-art in the field, selected talks are divided into three main scientific topics: Protein Folding Dynamics Toolkit, Protein Evolution and Design and Protein Interactions and Dynamics. To craft a fruitful, trainee-focused meeting, this two-day seminar brings together a group of more than 30 trainee scientists from various disciplines whose research focuses on understanding the molecular level details of protein folding and dynamics. A panel of pre-tenured faculty mentors will be assembled to serve as a resource for trainees considering options for the next phase of their careers. These faculty will also attend the other GRS sessions and can offer further mentorship therein. The GRS will further the field of protein folding by addressing several central topics, while highlighting how combined experimental and computational research can lead to breakthroughs in scientific understanding.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.
