DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 2014 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) "Microbial Toxins and Pathogenicity" and its companion Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) "New Approaches to Understand the Host-Pathogen Dynamic" is designed to showcase exciting, innovative basic and applied research in the infectious disease field while promoting intensive discussion and networking between new and veteran specialists from academia and government, medicine and biotech. Since its inception in 1972, this biennial international conference continues to be regarded by the microbial pathogenesis community as our premier venue for intellectual exchange. To be held July 20-25 at the Waterville Valley Resort in New Hampshire, the 2014 Conference is led by Chair Michele Swanson, PhD, Professor in the Department of Microbiology & Immunology at the University of Michigan Medical School, and Vice-Chair Virginia Miller, PhD, Professor of the Departments of Genetics and Microbiology & Immunology, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Nine sessions will feature 33 invited speakers chosen to integrate cutting-edge research on: bacterial toxin structure and function; cell biology of host defenses; inflammatory barriers to infection; interactions of microbial communities with the gut; bacterial regulatory, virulence, adaptation and nutrient acquisition mechanisms; and strategies for infection control. To highlight current challenges in each of these areas and to stimulate provocative exchange among junior and senior attendees, the nine Discussion Leaders will present 10 minute session introductions and lead 10 minute discussion periods after each talk. Afternoon poster sessions will promote tailored discussions between colleagues within and across disciplines and ranks. To integrate and develop the next generation of scientists in our field, the GRC will be preceded by a Gordon Research Seminar that is planned, led and attended exclusively by pre- and post-doctoral trainees who then join the Conference. Four outstanding trainees selected by their peers will also present their research in the opening and closing sessions of the GRC. Together the Seminar and Conference promise to provide an exceptional forum for a diverse population of scientists to learn, consider and challenge the current paradigms, barriers and opportunities to advancing and translating knowledge of molecular mechanisms of microbial infection.

描述（申请人提供）：2014年戈登研究会议（GRC）“微生物毒素和致病性”及其同伴戈登研究研讨会（GRS）“了解宿主-病原体动态的新方法”旨在展示传染病领域令人兴奋的，创新的基础和应用研究，同时促进学术界和政府的新老专家之间的深入讨论和网络，医药和生物技术。自1972年成立以来，这个两年一度的国际会议继续被微生物致病机理界视为我们知识交流的首要场所。2014年会议将于7月20日至25日在新罕布什尔州的沃特维尔山谷度假村举行，由密歇根大学医学院微生物学与免疫学系教授Michele Swanson博士和北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校遗传学和微生物学与免疫学系教授Virginia米勒博士领导。 九场会议将有33位受邀演讲者，他们被选中整合前沿研究：细菌毒素结构和功能;宿主防御的细胞生物学;感染的炎症屏障;微生物群落与肠道的相互作用;细菌调控，毒力，适应和营养获取机制;以及感染控制策略。为了突出每个领域当前面临的挑战，并激发初级和高级与会者之间的挑衅性交流，九位讨论领导人将在每次演讲后进行10分钟的会议介绍和10分钟的讨论。下午的海报会将促进内部和跨学科和职级的同事之间进行有针对性的讨论。 为了整合和发展我们领域的下一代科学家，GRC将在戈登研究研讨会之前举行，该研讨会由博士前和博士后学员计划，领导和参加，然后参加会议。四名由同行挑选的优秀学员也将在研讨会的开幕和闭幕会议上介绍他们的研究。研讨会和会议承诺为不同人群的科学家提供一个特殊的论坛，以学习，考虑和挑战当前的范式，障碍和机会，以推进和翻译微生物感染的分子机制的知识。
