2022 Biomineralization GRC and GRS
Abstract
The objective of the Gordon Research Conference on Biomineralization 2020 entitled "Bridging scientific disciplines to understand biomineral formation in breadth and depth", is to bring together early career and established scientists from around the globe with diverse backgrounds and a variety of expertise including, but not limited to biology, physics, geology, chemistry, engineering, environmental sciences, dentistry and medicine. Speakers and poster presenters will share a broad spectrum of state-of-the-art topics to cover genetic, molecular and cellular mechanisms of formation, structure and function of biomineralized tissues. Interactions of biominerals with the environment, impact on health and disease, as well as the translational aspect of biomineralization in tissue engineering will also be covered. The GRC 2020 conference will cover unicellular and multicellular systems containing calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, silica, and ferric oxide. Chemical, physical, biochemical and physiological events such as ion transport and homeostasis, genetic and cellular control of mineral deposition, principles of crystal nucleation, growth and phase transformation, macromolecular self-assembly and mineral interactions, pathological mineralization, structure and biomechanics, and Earth and evolution will be the main subjects of the invited talks.
