Welcome to the 3rd ITTS Symposium 2024
The International Transmembrane Transporter Society (ITTS) is a nonprofit membership organization focused on fostering science, scientific advances and collaborations in the field of membrane transporters in all of its relevant aspects, from structural biology, biochemistry, pharmacology to physiology and beyond.
The 3rd ITTS Symposium aims to showcase cutting-edge research of established experts in the field together with early career, talented researchers and to serve as a unique platform for sharing knowledge, fostering connections, and driving the field of transport biology forward.
This meeting, which also celebrates the 10 years of existence of the ITTS, is in collaboration between the ITTS and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) with Susan Amara (NIMH) and Michael Gottesman (NCI) as local organizers. The meeting venue will be at the NIH campus in Bethesda.
The ITTS is proud and thrilled to have you along for this exciting journey of discovery and exploration into the domain of membrane transporters. Together, we hope to pave the way towards greater understanding and transformative breakthroughs related to the function of transmembrane transporters and their impact on cells, organs, and organisms.
