Microbial population biology is an interdisciplinary field that attracts researchers from the evolutionary biology, ecology, computational biology, molecular biology, microbial physiology, medical microbiology and epidemiology, bacterial genetics, and population genetics. Research at the cutting edge of this rapidly growing field is consistently collaborative, cross-disciplinary and integrative in nature. The Gordon Research Conference on Microbial Population Biology is the only conference specifically designed to bring the leading researchers in the relevant fields (microbial population genetics, molecular evolution, ecology, epidemiology, molecular biology and genetics) to share in an intensive, discussion oriented meeting aimed at identifying the leading areas of current and future research. Due to the rapid accumulation of complete microbial genome sequence data it is now more important than ever to continue with the primary objective of this Conference of promoting and establishing connections between diverse disciplines and researchers. It is now clear that developing a more robust view of microbial diversity, ecology and evolution is required if we hope to make progress in our understanding of the evolution of infectious disease, planning for biodefense and for developing novel approaches to microbial disease therapies. This conference is designed to bring together the breadth of researchers required to enable such progress.

微生物群体生物学是一个跨学科领域，吸引了来自进化生物学、生态学、计算生物学、分子生物学、微生物生理学、医学微生物学和流行病学、细菌遗传学和群体遗传学的研究人员。这一快速发展领域的前沿研究本质上始终是协作性、跨学科性和综合性的。戈登微生物种群生物学研究会议是唯一专门为吸引相关领域（微生物种群遗传学、分子进化、生态学、流行病学、分子生物学和遗传学）的领先研究人员进行密集、以讨论为导向的会议而设计的会议，旨在确定当前和未来研究的领先领域。由于完整的微生物基因组序列数据的快速积累，现在比以往任何时候都更加重要的是继续本次会议的主要目标，即促进和建立不同学科和研究人员之间的联系。 现在很明显，如果我们希望在理解传染病的进化、规划生物防御和开发微生物疾病治疗的新方法方面取得进展，就需要对微生物多样性、生态学和进化有更强有力的认识。这次会议旨在汇集实现这一进步所需的广泛研究人员。
