The 2011 Molecular Membrane Biology Gordon Conference will cover recent advances in organelle structure, function and biogenesis, including protein trafficking, autophagy, mitochondrial dynamics, and lipid biology. The field of membrane biology is entering an exciting phase as insights on molecular mechanism are enhancing our understanding of important biological processes such as signal transduction, development, host-pathogen interactions and familial diseases. Current progress is advancing through multidisciplinary approaches and an explosion of new methodology including high throughput screening, super-resolution microscopy and advanced biophysical methods. These and other late-breaking discoveries will be covered at the 2011 conference. In addition to invited speakers, sixteen short talks will be selected from submitted abstracts and poster sessions are planned to promote discussion of the most recent developments. Applicants are encouraged to submit a brief abstract describing their current studies and to indicate whether they wish to present a poster or to be considered for a talk. The meeting program will be finalized in mid-April and we request that applicants who would like their abstracts considered for a talk to apply by April 4, 2011.
