THURSDAY, September 5th & FRIDAY, September 6th

9 am PT/12 pm ET/6 pm CET/your time zone

Join us for casual discussions on GPCR research in Zoom breakout rooms. Move between rooms to explore different topics. Engage with a smaller group of established/junior GPCR leaders/symposium presenters in different focus areas. Discuss current trends, career planning, and more with invited experts and fellow participants.
