Conference: Annual Meeting of the West Coast Bacterial Physiologists to be held in Pacific Grove, CA. December 11-13, 2015 and December 9-11, 2016

本次会议奖将有助于抵消注册费用为先进的本科生和研究生和博士后研究员参加2015年和2016年西海岸细菌生理学家会议。在这次会议上，大约90%的演讲将由本科生和研究生以及博士后研究员提出。将邀请初级教师启动他们的研究计划，以促进他们融入更广泛的科学界。会议的科学重点是微生物生理学的基础方面，将与生物技术应用（生物修复、生物燃料）、代谢组学和其他系统级组学方法、基因组到表型组研究以及合成生物学有关。 会议组织者将努力在演讲者和召集人中实现性别和少数族裔平衡。西海岸细菌生理学家会议将于2015年12月和2016年12月在加州太平洋格罗夫的阿西洛马会议中心举行。会议将在为期三天的时间内分为四次科学会议。四个会议的每一个将开始与邀请“约翰英格拉哈姆讲师在微生物生理学”，这将跨越微生物生理学领域的范围，包括新的和新兴的主题（包括基因组表型组的关系，计算建模，先进的DNA测序方法）。会议日程和摘要将在会议网站上公布。会议将为年轻的研究人员提供在科学会议上做口头报告的机会，并将有助于将初级教师融入研究社区，这将创造新的合作研究机会。

This Conference award will help to offset registration costs for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to attend the 2015 and 2016 West Coast Bacterial Physiologists Meeting. At this meeting, approximately 90% of the talks will be presented by undergraduate and graduate students, as well as postdoctoral fellows. Junior Faculty initiating their research programs will be invited in order to facilitate their integration into the broader scientific community. The scientific focus of the meeting, foundational aspects of microbial physiology, will be relevant to biotechnological applications (bioremediation, biofuels), metabolomics and other systems-level -omics approaches, genome to phenome studies, and synthetic biology. Meeting organizers will work towards a gender and minority balance in lecturers and conveners. The West Coast Bacterial Physiologists Meeting will be held in December of 2015 and 2016 at the Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove, California. The meeting will be organized into four scientific sessions over a three-day period. Each of the four sessions will begin with an invited "John Ingraham Lecturers in Microbial Physiology" which will span the range of microbial physiology fields and include new and emerging topics (including genome to phenome relationships, computational modeling, advanced DNA sequencing methodologies). The meeting program and abstracts will be made publicly available on the meeting website. The meeting will give young researchers the opportunity to give an oral presentation at a scientific conference, and will help to integrate junior Faculty into the research community, which will create new collaborative research opportunities.
