Bioinorganic chemistry bridges disciplines to understand the ways life has evolved around metal ions. Metals play critical roles in processes such as small molecule activation, biosynthetic pathways, energy conversion, nutrient transport, and many others. A variety of tools, including synthetic chemistry, spectroscopy, imaging, enzymology, protein engineering/evolution, and computation, are used to advance our understanding of the chemical space occupied by metals in biology. The Bioinorganic Chemistry GRS is celebrating its 25th year of bringing young scientists together. This meeting provides an environment for trainees (graduate students, postdocs, and other researchers at a comparable career level) to present their work in a supportive, collaborative environment and build a professional network with their peers. Sessions will be moderated by a diverse selection of discussion leaders excited to serve as field experts and mentors. The meeting culminates in a shared keynote and poster session with the associated Metals in Biology GRC.
