This award will support students, postdoctoral researchers and early career investigators at the American Society of Microbiology(ASM) Conference on Cell-Cell Communication in Bacteria (CCCB6) to be held in Athens, Georgia in October, 2017. The conference showcases innovative new multi-disciplinary and theory-driven research to garner a deeper understanding of the cell-cell communication underpinning coordinated group behaviors in bacteria. Such signaling within and between species of microbes, often termed ?quorum sensing?, controls a range of microbial behaviors and processes with enormous consequences for human and animal health, agriculture, energy, and the environment. The budget requested will be used to support travel of early-career investigators, as well as postdoctoral and student researchers, several of whom will be selected for oral presentations based on their submitted conference abstracts. The organizers of the conference have made a particular effort to be broadly inclusive in terms of gender balance and minority participation.The conference will bring together leading researchers in the field including international participants. The organizers present a forward-thinking agenda at this conference, complementing the microbiological focus with presentations by theorists, synthetic biologists, computational biologists, engineers, chemists and physicists. Sessions cover such topics as the role of bacterial cell-cell communication in disease, the chemical diversity of signals, the evolution of microbial social behavior, bacterial group behaviors, computational modeling of regulatory circuits, ecological perspectives on cell-cell signaling, and applied aspects of signal disruption.

该奖项将支持学生，博士后研究人员和早期职业研究人员参加美国微生物学学会（ASM）细菌细胞间通讯会议（CCCB 6），该会议将于2017年10月在格鲁吉亚雅典举行。 会议展示了创新的多学科和理论驱动的研究，以更深入地了解细菌中协调群体行为的细胞间通讯。 这种信号在微生物物种内部和之间，通常被称为？群体感应？它控制着一系列微生物的行为和过程，对人类和动物的健康、农业、能源和环境产生了巨大的影响。 所要求的预算将用于支持早期职业研究人员以及博士后和学生研究人员的差旅费，其中几名研究人员将根据其提交的会议摘要被选中进行口头介绍。会议的组织者特别努力在性别平衡和少数群体参与方面做到广泛包容，会议将汇集该领域的主要研究人员，包括国际与会者。 组织者在这次会议上提出了一个前瞻性的议程，通过理论家，合成生物学家，计算生物学家，工程师，化学家和物理学家的演讲补充了微生物的重点。 会议涵盖了细菌细胞间通讯在疾病中的作用，信号的化学多样性，微生物社会行为的演变，细菌群体行为，调控电路的计算建模，细胞间信号传导的生态学观点以及信号中断的应用方面等主题。
