Intellectual Merit The 2012 Sensory Transduction in Microorganisms Gordon Research Conference (STIM) will be held January 15-20 at the Ventura Beach Marriott in Ventura, California. This conference will focus on how microorganisms, particularly bacteria, sense and respond to their environment. This research will aid in understanding the basic mechanism of signal transduction and motility in all living organisms. The specific objectives of the conference include: 1)To provide a forum for investigators from a range of disciplines that spans computational modeling through biophysics to bacterial physiology to integrate their research results on microbes across the scale of molecular to population biology.2)To provide a mechanism for investigators with cutting-edge technical expertise to share their expertise and establish collaborations. Techniques of interest to the participants are modern high-throughput methods in bacterial genetics and phenotypic screening, cryo-EM tomography, microfluidics, single cell microscopy and in vitro reconstruction of signal transduction complexes.3)To promote junior investigators in the field and to encourage diversity within the research community.4)To stimulate interactions and collaborations between established investigators and graduate students/ postdoctoral fellows and to nurture the scientific development of early stage investigators.Some of the sessions for this year?s conference include: Diversity in chemotaxisReceptor signaling and architecture designSmall molecule signalingResponses to the physical environmentPhosphorylation and acetylation in signal transductionFlagella structure and functionBroader Impacts GRC STIM has a legacy of bringing together researchers from a variety of disciplines at all stages of their career. In 2010, approximately 40% of the participants were female and 49% were graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Feedback from the conference attendees in 2010 was solicited to help with broadening and sustaining participation for the 2012 conference. Based on the feedback, approximately 65% of the speakers for the 2012 conference have not spoken in four years and are either assistant or associate professors. In addition, the GRC STIM actively encourages participation of women and underrepresented groups.

2012年感官转导在微生物戈登研究会议（STIM）将于1月15日至20日在文图拉海滩万豪酒店在文图拉，加州。 本次会议将重点关注微生物，特别是细菌，如何感知和响应其环境。 这项研究将有助于了解所有生物体中信号转导和运动的基本机制。 会议的具体目标包括：1）为来自一系列学科的研究人员提供一个论坛，从生物物理学到细菌生理学的计算建模，将他们对微生物的研究成果整合到分子到种群生物学的规模。参与者感兴趣的技术是细菌遗传学和表型筛选的现代高通量方法，冷冻EM断层扫描，微流体，单细胞显微镜和信号转导复合物的体外重建。3）促进该领域的初级研究人员，并鼓励研究社区的多样性。4）促进既定研究人员和研究生之间的互动和合作。博士后研究员和培养早期研究人员的科学发展。今年的一些会议？的会议包括：趋化性的多样性受体信号传导和结构设计小分子信号传导对物理环境的反应信号传导中的磷酸化和乙酰化鞭毛结构和功能更广泛的影响GRC STIM有一个传统，汇集了来自不同学科的研究人员在他们职业生涯的各个阶段。 2010年，大约40%的参与者是女性，49%是研究生和博士后研究员。 征求了2010年会议与会者的反馈意见，以帮助扩大和维持2012年会议的参与。 根据反馈，2012年会议的发言者中约有65%在四年内没有发言，并且是助理或副教授。此外，克罗地亚共和国政府还积极鼓励妇女和代表性不足的群体参与。
