Due to the ongoing issues caused by the COVID-19 international travel restrictions, we have made the difficult decision to move the CGRP meeting fully online. Whilst we were extremely keen to hold an in-person meeting with a hybrid option for those unable to attend in person, with so many delegates and speakers still unable to travel to the UK, we feel a fully online meeting is the right thing to do. We are currently working with the meeting organisers to finalise the online programme and will release the details soon.
The British Pharmacological Society are delighted to announce the 10th International Meeting on the CGRP Family of Peptides. This is the latest in a series of meetings that began in 1991 and have tracked the emergence of the CGRP family and their receptors as viable druggable targets. The last meeting was held in 2018 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA and attracted over 100 delegates. Since then, there have been dramatic developments in receptor structure/molecular/signalling pharmacology and pathophysiology/therapeutics especially for treatment of migraine. The meeting will highlight these areas and new developing areas concerning the CGRP family.
Meeting topics
Topics will include molecular pharmacology of receptors; the wider role of RAMPs; pathophysiology of the peptides including in neuroinflammation, and migraine, the cardiovascular system, stem cells and angiogenesis eating and metabolism and new drugs to target the peptides and their receptors. There will also be open sessions for discussion of controversial data and receptor nomenclature as well as CGRP and Covid.
