The conference's main themes are: 1) structure-function relationship of ion channels based on direct 3D structure determination and computational modeling; 2) ion channels and circadian regulation; 3) novel tools to probe ion channel structure, regulation, and interactions; 4) channelopathies and therapeutic opportunities.
Conference sessions will present the latest research and foster discussion on:
Structure-function relationship of ion channels
Molecular modeling of ion channels
Ion channels and circadian regulation
Molecular tools in studying ion channels
Dynamics in membrane organization and ion channel trafficking
Ion channels in disease
Ion channels as therapeutic targets
Interrogating membrane dynamics and channel distribution
The conference covers four oral sessions with four selected short talk presentations, a “Meet the Experts” session, and a Career Development discussion with scientists from academia, industry, and government. We are delighted to havekeynote lectures by Kurt Beam, PhD(University of Colorado Anschultz Medical Campus) and Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz, PhD (Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Janelia Research Campus).
