4GPCRnet – International Symposium
SEPTEMBER 26-29, 2022 (Leipzig, Germany)

4GPCRnet meeting bringing together four of the biggest GPCR networks in Europe for a joint meeting in Leipzig.

Four of the biggest European networks on GPCR research (COST Actions Adher’n Rise and ERNEST plus DFG-funded SFB1423 and FOR2372) have joined forces to organize an international meeting, which will take place from 26th-29th September 2022 in the beautiful city of Leipzig in Germany.

We aim to connect renowned international experts of the field with early career ‘rising stars’. The event will take place in the heart of Leipzig, which offers a colorful mixture of culture and vivid social life.
