DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The major goal of this biennial conference is to bring together young investigators, post-doctoral fellows and graduate students, together with senior investigators, to address issues in microbial glycobiology that span diverse fields. Previous versions of this meeting were focused on the microbial polysaccharides but the field has expanded and is much better addressed as microbial glycobiology. These meetings serve as an important forum to encourage multi-disciplinary interactions that could lead to new cutting-edge research directions and applications for microbial glycobiology. A multi-disciplinary meeting, such as a FASEB Summer Conference, is essential in this field because it provides interactions among investigators that normally have limited opportunities to meet and exchange ideas at national meetings. The proposed FASEB Summer Conference in 2014 on Microbial Glycobiology will span a broad range of topics with the common theme of glycobiology and its central role in areas such as pathogen interactions with host cells, the human microbiome, polysaccharide- based vaccines and therapeutics for human disease, industrial applications including biofilms, plant diseases, etc., where the central role of microbial glycans is of major importance for human health and economic activity. One of the strengths of this conference is the fact that it will not only embrace the usual forum for exchanging ideas (invited talks and poster presentations) but will encourage development of collaborations and identification of new directions for research. This will be accomplished by the informal format of the meeting in an idyllic setting, the ample time allowed for discussion, and the fact that the attendees will share living and eating quarters for four days. Individuals working in these different fields that all employ or study microbial glycobiology need to learn and utilize the expertise of others. It is clear that in this area of research a multidisciplinary approach is required to understand the complexity of these molecules and to utilize this knowledge for pharmaceutical or industrial applications. While, there are many opportunities to go to meetings to interact with investigators that do things closely related to an individual scientist's own interests in the field of microbial glycobiology; what is needed is a forum to bring together diverse attendees that share this common interest but study it from vastly different perspectives. The FASEB Summer Conference format provides a unique and preeminent opportunity to optimize such interactions among scientists from diverse areas of microbial glycobiology research.

描述（由申请人提供）：本次两年一度的会议的主要目标是将年轻研究人员、博士后研究员和研究生以及资深研究人员聚集在一起，解决跨越不同领域的微生物糖生物学问题。本次会议的先前版本主要关注微生物多糖，但该领域已经扩大，并且更好地解决为微生物糖生物学。这些会议是鼓励多学科互动的重要论坛，这可能会带来微生物糖生物学的新的前沿研究方向和应用。多学科会议，例如 FASEB 夏季会议，在这一领域至关重要，因为它提供了研究人员之间的互动，而这些研究人员通常在全国会议上见面和交流想法的机会有限。拟议的 2014 年 FASEB 微生物糖生物学夏季会议将涵盖广泛的主题，其共同主题是糖生物学及其在病原体与宿主细胞相互作用、人类微生物组、基于多糖的疫苗和人类疾病治疗、包括生物膜、植物病害等工业应用等领域的核心作用，其中微生物聚糖的核心作用对人类至关重要 健康和经济活动。这次会议的优势之一是，它不仅包括交流思想的常规论坛（受邀演讲和海报展示），而且还将鼓励发展合作和确定新的研究方向。这将通过在田园诗般的环境中举行的非正式会议、充足的讨论时间以及与会者将共享四天的生活和饮食区来实现。在这些不同领域工作的个人都使用或研究微生物糖生物学，需要学习和利用其他人的专业知识。显然，在这一研究领域需要采用多学科方法来了解这些分子的复杂性并将这些知识用于制药或工业应用。同时，有很多机会参加会议与研究人员互动，这些研究人员所做的事情与单个科学家在微生物领域的自身兴趣密切相关 糖生物学；我们需要一个论坛，将拥有共同兴趣但从截然不同的角度进行研究的不同参与者聚集在一起。 FASEB 夏季会议的形式提供了一个独特而卓越的机会来优化来自微生物糖生物学研究不同领域的科学家之间的这种互动。
