The symposium is free, but you must be a Dr. GPCR Ecosystem member, which is also free!

We have been setting aside 2 hours for networking and poster presentations on Kumospace. The posters don’t have to be fully formatted, just come with a few slides and have a chat with your community members about your favorite GPCR or other signaling protein. If you’d like to present your work during networking time on September 22nd, please fill out this form. Everyone is welcome!
