The Western Photosynthesis Conference (WPC) is pleased to announce its 36th annual meeting, bringing together researchers from diverse disciplines to advance our understanding of photosynthetic processes. As one of three regional photosynthesis conferences in the United States, the WPC provides a unique platform for scientists to share knowledge, collaborate, and foster professional growth, particularly for early-career scholars.
The conference will be held at Green Mountain Retreat, located in Los Gatos, CA, just a 25-minute drive from the San Jose Airport. By bringing together researchers from across the Western United States and beyond, the WPC aims to foster meaningful scientific discussion and inspire innovative research within the diverse field of photosynthesis.
