# 2020 Thiol-Based Redox Regulation and Signaling GRC/GRS

## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY
The 2020 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on “Thiol-Based Redox Regulation and Signaling” will provide a
forum for junior and senior scientists from many disciplines to share unpublished, innovative research about
biological processes that are regulated by redox-based post-translational modifications of cysteine-containing
proteins, and associated disorders. This biennial meeting was established in 2006 under the auspices of the
GRC, an organization internationally known for the high quality, cutting edge nature of its meetings. The specific
objectives are to foster interactions across disciplines, promote a sense of community among cysteine-focused
researchers, provide a springboard into redox biology research for scientists from other fields, and mentor
students in a supportive scientific setting. The invited speakers include both prominent scholars and promising
young scientists who are applying new approaches to the redox sciences and other intersecting fields. In addition
to the 40 invited speakers, all participants can present their research at highly interactive poster sessions; from
these, we select 10 short talks that are interleaved in each session. A distinct feature of this meeting is its
association with a student-organized Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). The GRS assembles ~45 graduate and
postdoctoral trainees to present and discuss their research immediately before the GRC begins. A few senior
investigators are invited to the GRS to provide advice and feedback, thereby nurturing the careers of our future
principal investigators. Prior GRC/GRS meetings garnered exceedingly positive reviews for focusing on the most
recent findings, and promoting an informal, highly interactive format.
The 2020 GRC on “Thiol-Based Redox Regulation and Signaling” will be held July 12-17, 2020 at the Rey Don
Jaime Grand Hotel in Castelldefels, Spain, an ideal international setting for encouraging intense and invigorating
discussions in a collegial atmosphere. The GRS will be held July 11-12, 2020. A guiding principle that will serve
to keep this conference fresh and relevant is our commitment to explore novel themes, and to gather a completely
new cast of speakers, for each successive meeting. The specific program described in this application has the
overarching goals of representing the breadth of thiol-based redox regulation sciences, while also establishing
a set of thematic foci. Thus, the 2020 meeting will emphasize research areas that extend beyond the thiol-based
or “cysteine centric” proteome in an effort to introduce new concepts for discussion. We will consider the related
field of methionine oxidation, selenoproteins research, and the influence of redox metabolites on human health
and disease. Finally, the meeting will integrate clinically relevant research, including novel strategies to target
the redox vulnerabilities of cancer cells. Here, basic research findings will dovetail with the latest information on
sulfur- and sele...
