Biomineralization Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) is organized by Gordon Research Conferences (GRC) and will be held from Aug 13 - 14, 2022 at Gran Hotel Rey Don Jaime, Castelldefels, Barcelona, Spain.

Conference Description:
The Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Biomineralization is a unique forum for graduate students and post-docs with diverse education and expertise to present cutting-edge research and share inspiring ideas.

Biomineralization is a multidisciplinary field focusing on the complex formation pathways, structures and intriguing functions of biominerals. In a multifaceted approach toward understanding both biomineral formation processes and purposes, this meeting aspires to bring scientists of various scientific disciplines together. By bridging geology, chemistry, biology, medicine, materials science, evolutionary sciences and engineering, an integrative environment is provided to share new ideas and discuss recent advances in the field of Biomineralization. Implementing in vivo, in vitro, in situ and in silico methodologies, topics such as formation mechanisms, biomolecular-biomineral interactions, biomechanics and bio-inspired materials, and their applications will be addressed.

Program Format:
Gordon Research Seminars are 2-day meetings which take place on the Saturday and Sunday just prior to the start of the associated GRC. The GRS opens with a 1-hour introductory session on Saturday afternoon, followed by a poster session, dinner and a 2-hour session in the evening. Sunday morning begins with breakfast and is followed by another 2-hour session, a second poster session, and lunch. A final 1-hour session takes place just after lunch, and the associated GRC begins later that evening.

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
