Carotenoids GRC 2027: Discoveries and Applications in Carotenoid and Apocarotenoid Science
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology conference by Gordon Research Conferences
About
Investigate how carotenoids and their metabolites support photosynthesis, photoprotection, signalling and organismal health. Research presentations connect pigment biosynthesis and molecular function with retinoids, plant stress responses, animal coloration and human nutrition. The programme examines new metabolic pathways, crop biofortification, disease prevention and practical applications, with extensive discussion and poster sessions.
10–15 January: check-in begins Sunday at 14:00 and scientific introductions at 19:30; departure is Friday at 09:00. Times: America/Los_Angeles (PST, UTC−08:00). Apply by 13 December through a myGRC account; acceptance is selective and capacity limited. Undergraduates and applicants without a science/engineering bachelor’s degree or accepted equivalent are ineligible. Fees: US$1,890 single room, US$1,525 shared room or US$1,015 off-site. The earlier oral-presentation/fee-waiver deadline has passed. The associated GRS requires a separate application.
