This award will support the Gordon Research Seminar and Conference on “Staphylococcal Diseases: New Insights into Staphylococcal Biology, Disease Mechanisms and Treatment” to be held July 29 – August 4, 2023 at Waterville Valley, NH. This meeting will be attended by undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, as well as senior researchers to discuss our understanding of all aspects of these bacteria. NSF will support discussions on the understanding of the structure, biochemistry, genetics of this phylum of bacteria that have a unique surfaces structure. Talks will be presented on fundamental properties of Staphylococci, their interactions with other microscopic creatures, and how their genes regulate these aspects of Staphylococcal biology. In addition to formal talks presented by experienced researchers and trainees new to the field, engagement will be facilitated by two poster sessions to stimulate interactions between researchers. NSF support will be used to defray registration costs to allow attendance of participants from early stages of their careers, especially for members of groups underrepresented in this field.Staphylococci are members of the Gram-positive phylum of bacteria, with an envelope comprised of a single membrane and thick cell wall, unlike most other bacteria. This thick cell wall has made it difficult to study some aspects of these creatures, and is an important feature that allows them to infect mammalian hosts. This Gordon Conference and Seminar will allow discussion of the newest research on the structure and biochemistry of these tiny creatures, including understanding of their role unique biochemistry, their interactions within the microbial community, and how their signaling and gene regulation. The meeting will bring together experienced investigators with early-career scientists in both formal talks and discussion sessions to encourage informal discussion and sharing of latest research results on the formation of structures in the cell, cell wall structure and absorption of nutrients, and their interactions with other communities of microbes in biofilms.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项将支持戈登研究研讨会和会议“葡萄球菌疾病：对葡萄球菌生物学，疾病机制和治疗的新见解”将于2023年7月29日至8月4日在沃特维尔谷举行，NH。 本科生、研究生和博士后研究员以及高级研究人员将参加这次会议，讨论我们对这些细菌各个方面的理解。 NSF将支持对这种具有独特表面结构的细菌门的结构、生物化学和遗传学的理解的讨论。 讲座将介绍葡萄球菌的基本特性，它们与其他微观生物的相互作用，以及它们的基因如何调节葡萄球菌生物学的这些方面。 除了由经验丰富的研究人员和新到该领域的受训人员提出的正式会谈外，还将通过两个海报会议促进参与，以刺激研究人员之间的互动。 NSF的支持将用于支付注册费用，以使参与者能够从职业生涯的早期阶段参加，特别是对于在该领域代表性不足的群体的成员。葡萄球菌是革兰氏阳性菌门的成员，具有由单膜和厚细胞壁组成的包膜，不像大多数其他细菌。 这种厚的细胞壁使得研究这些生物的某些方面变得困难，并且是使它们能够感染哺乳动物宿主的重要特征。 这次戈登会议和研讨会将讨论这些微小生物的结构和生物化学的最新研究，包括了解它们的作用独特的生物化学，它们在微生物群落中的相互作用，以及它们的信号传导和基因调控。 会议将汇集经验丰富的研究人员与早期职业科学家在正式会谈和讨论环节，以鼓励非正式讨论和分享最新的研究成果，在细胞结构的形成，细胞壁结构和营养吸收，以及它们与生物膜中其他微生物群落的相互作用。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过评估予以支持使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
