描述(申请人提供)：最令人兴奋的最新发展 关于微生物-环境相互作用的知识源于对 基因组序列。这款功能强大的工具提供了一个全新的平台 解决微生物如何应对变化的关键问题 环境。然而，全基因组序列的潜力还没有被发掘。 充分利用。分子微生物学将如何演变为 完整的基因组信息？需求是显而易见的：来自 微生物的发病机制和微生物的发展需要与 参与基因组学、进化论、机械学和环境学的科学家 微生物学。拟议发言者名单的多学科性质 明确解决了这一需求。拟议中的会议的目标是带来 将这些不同领域的领军人物聚集在一起，讨论他们的 工作。最终的希望是，这次会议将有助于催化新的 相互作用将为分子科学的未来趋势铺平道路 微生物学。因此，在专门知识领域和将要讨论的议题方面 这次会议代表了一种真正的折衷方案。考虑到 “功能基因组学”是分子生物学领域的最新发展， 预计所有演讲者将在以下方面介绍他们的最新进展 他们感兴趣的新领域。被邀请的演讲者小组，除了 作为微生物兴趣的折衷混合物，代表着一种非常 多样化的群体。在29位拟议的演讲者中，有12位是国际科学家， 其中六名是女性，一名是西班牙裔。此外，至少有五位演讲者是 年轻的调查人员已经确立了自己在 他们的田地。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The most exciting recent developments regarding microbe-environment interactions stem from the knowledge of full genome sequences. This powerful tool provides a completely new platform from which to address the key question of how microbes respond to a changing environment. However, the potential of full genome sequences has not yet been fully exploited. How will molecular microbiology evolve as a consequence of complete genome information? The need is clear: scientists from areas of microbial pathogenesis and microbial development need to interact closely with scientists involved in genomics, evolution, mechanistics, and environmental microbiology. The multidisciplinary nature of the proposed speaker list clearly addressed this need. The goals of the proposed meeting are to bring together the leading figures in these rather diverse fields to discuss their work. The ultimate hope is that the meeting will serve to catalyze new interactions that will pave the way for the future trends in molecular microbiology. Thus, in both the areas of expertise and the topics to be presented, the meeting represents a truly eclectic mixture. Given that the field of "functional genomics" is a recent development in molecular biology, all of the speakers will be expected to present their most recent advances in new areas of interest for them. The group of invited speakers, aside from being an eclectic mixture of microbiological interest, represents a very diverse group. Of the 29 proposed speakers, 12 are international scientists, six are women and one is Hispanic. In addition, at least five speakers are young investigators who have already established themselves as leaders in their fields.
