Monday, May 10 – Tuesday, May 11, 2021
Tremendous scientific advancements over the last decade indicate that GPCR physiology and pharmacology are much more complex than originally thought and that it may be possible to exploit this complexity to treat a wide variety of diseases. The objective
of this colloquium is to expose scientists to recent discoveries and multidisciplinary approaches used to study GPCRs and provide opportunities for establishing collaborations that bridge complementary interests. The event will feature speakers who
have made exciting discoveries in GPCR research that range from molecular to systems biology, basic research to translational studies, and pharmacology to biochemistry to physiology.

Virtual Posters
Virtual posters at the Colloquium will include a PDF poster with a 5-minute audio narration by the author as well as a text-based Q&A discussion board.
All abstracts submitted during the regular submission period to the topic category “3016-ASPET GPCR Colloquium” will be reviewed and considered for inclusion at the Colloquium. Accepted abstracts will be programmed at both the main EB
meeting and the GPCR Colloquium.
Abstracts can also be submitted from January 14 to February 4, 2021 during the Last-Chance abstract submission period to any ASPET topic category. Please use GPCR as one of your keywords.
If you already submitted or plan to submit to another topic category or society, please email meetings@aspet.org with your abstract ID number and we can be sure you are considered for both the Colloquium and EB. Please do not submit duplicate abstracts.
Registration
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and support from ASPET, ASBMB, and APS, a ticket for the colloquium is being provided at no extra charge with your paid registration to Experimental Biology.
