DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests partial support for the 2006 Gordon Research Conference on Microbial Stress Responses to be held July 9-14, 2006 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, MA. The 2006 session of this extraordinarily successful meeting will emphasize the use of cross-disciplinary approaches to study microbial stress responses. The confirmed speakers represent disciplines that approach problems in biomedical research from both the physical/computational sciences and biological sciences. Such cross-disciplinary approaches and interactions are critical to achieving the next breakthroughs in biomedical research. This meeting is also distinguished for its broad examination and cutting edge approaches to the study of stress responses. As such, it allows the cross fertilization of new ideas and approaches to the study of this important field and beyond. As indicated by the session titles, this meeting will include stress responses of pathogenic organisms induced by association with their hosts as well as the survival of organisms in their natural environment. Thus the sessions will improve our understanding of the role of bacteria in human health and disease. In addition, this year we will have a session to examine systems biology/computational approaches to dissecting stress responses networks, including single cell approaches. We will also have several speakers working on eukaryotic systems (including structural biology, DMA damage sensing and oxidative stress). The meeting will highlight new developments in metal and oxidative stress, as well as specialized and general stress responses. In addition, we are committed to diversity and our speakers include women, underrepresented minorities and new faculty. Besides the invited speakers in each session, we will choose additional speakers from submitted abstracts. In summary, this meeting will play a strategic role in advancing microbial research by integrating cutting edge, structural, molecular, and computational science approaches to the study of microbial systems and their stress responses. This meeting provides an unparalleled venue to bring together computational and experimental scientists with the aim of developing new approaches to study stress responses, thereby uncovering new knowledge important to human health and disease.

描述(由申请人提供)：本提案请求部分支持将于2006年7月9日至14日在马萨诸塞州南哈德利的曼荷莲学院举行的2006年戈登微生物应激反应研究会议。这一非常成功的会议的2006届会议将强调使用跨学科方法来研究微生物应激反应。确认的发言者代表了从物理/计算科学和生物科学两个角度处理生物医学研究问题的学科。这种跨学科的方法和互动对于实现生物医学研究的下一步突破至关重要。这次会议还以其广泛的审查和研究应激反应的前沿方法而闻名。因此，它允许交叉培养新的想法和方法来研究这一重要领域和更远的领域。如会议标题所示，本次会议将包括病原生物与寄主联合引起的应激反应以及生物体在其自然环境中的生存情况。因此，这些会议将提高我们对细菌在人类健康和疾病中的作用的理解。此外，今年我们将有一个课程来研究系统生物学/计算方法来解剖应激反应网络，包括单细胞方法。我们还将有几位演讲者在真核系统(包括结构生物学、DMA损伤传感和氧化应激)方面工作。会议将重点介绍金属和氧化应激的新发展，以及特殊和一般应激反应。此外，我们致力于多样性，我们的演讲者包括女性、代表性不足的少数族裔和新教师。除了每节课的受邀演讲者外，我们还将从提交的摘要中挑选更多的演讲者。总而言之，这次会议将通过整合前沿、结构、分子和计算科学方法来研究微生物系统及其应激反应，从而在推进微生物研究方面发挥战略作用。这次会议提供了一个无与伦比的场所，将计算和实验科学家聚集在一起，目的是开发研究应激反应的新方法，从而揭示对人类健康和疾病重要的新知识。
