GPCR Zoominars 2025
GPCR Zoominars 2025
Join and view webinars by ECI speakers from the vibrant GPCR community hosted by GPCR Forum members.
This webinar series provides a platform for Early Career Investigators (ECIs) from all areas of GPCR research to present their research to an international community!
Occasional Café sessions create a safe space in which more senior researchers can share their experience and ECIs can ask all the career related questions they always wanted to ask.
Check out our previous speakers below or rewatch some zoominar recordings!
Follow the zoominar on Twitter/X and LinkedIn or join the GPCR Forum mailing list for updates.
Subscribe to our YouTube channel to not miss any new releases.
We are always looking for speakers! Fill in our survey or reach out to us, if you would like to present your research, join the team or to suggest speakers or Café session leaders!
