2023 Lactic Acid Bacteria Biology, Symbioses and Applications GRC

建议书摘要/摘要 2023年首届GRC乳酸菌生物学、共生和应用会议将探讨 乳酸菌的前沿研究(LAB)，一组具有悠久研究历史的微生物 并在医学上使用。许多实验室被用作人类和动物健康的益生菌，是必不可少的参与者。 在食物发酵中。Lab也是人类和动物肠道和阴道微生物群的成员，并 广泛用于合成生物学和(生物)工程。了解这些细菌的生物学将 提高我们破译某些微生物如何改善人类健康的能力。尽管对实验室感兴趣，但 一个多世纪以来，关于这些生物的基本生物学问题，仍然有许多悬而未决的问题。 细菌以及它们如何与宿主和本土微生物群相互作用以影响健康和疾病。这 GRC将为所有职业阶段和背景的不同研究人员建立一个包容和令人兴奋的论坛 会面，分享实验室研究，并建立强大的合作网络，为早期职业生涯提供支持 科学家和代表不足的少数族裔。GRC将由21位受邀演讲者组成，16位演讲将被挑选出来 从摘要、海报预览演讲和互动海报会议。在主要会议中的“权力小时”将会 关注女性在科学领域面临的挑战。我们的目标是营造一个互动、友好的环境 思想可以自由交流，而不受背景或资历的限制。为此，各届会议和工作 餐饮将辅以一个强有力的社交计划，以促进这些互动。GRC计划将 分为九个上午和晚上的会议，题为：(1)进化；(2)新陈代谢；(3)噬菌体； (4)细胞表面和分泌化合物；(5)肠道共生；(6)食物生态系统；(7)阴道共生； (8)生物工程；(9)合成生物学。因此，GRC将促进最新思想的交流和 实验室技术并提供新的协作，同时增强和促进下一代的职业生涯 一代科学家在这个充满活力和令人兴奋的领域。

Proposal Summary/Abstract The inaugural 2023 GRC Conference on Lactic Acid Bacteria Biology, Symbioses and Applications will explore cutting-edge research on lactic acid bacteria (LAB), a group of microorganisms that have a long history of study and use in medicine. Many LAB are applied as probiotics for human and animal health and are essential players in food fermentations. LAB are also members of human and animal intestinal and vaginal microbiomes and are used extensively in synthetic biology and (bio)engineering. Understanding the biology of these bacteria will improve our capacity to decode how certain microorganisms improve human health. Despite interest in LAB for well over a century, there remain many unanswered and challenging questions on the basic biology of these bacteria and how they interact with their hosts and indigenous microbiomes to impact health and disease. This GRC will establish an inclusive and exciting forum for diverse researchers of all career stages and backgrounds to meet to share LAB research and to develop strong networks for collaboration and support of early career scientists and under-represented minorities. The GRC will comprise 21 invited speakers, 16 talks to be selected from the abstracts, poster preview talks and interactive poster sessions. A `power hour' in the main meeting will focus on the challenges facing women in science. We aim to foster an interactive, friendly environment where ideas can be freely exchanged independently of background or seniority. To that end, the sessions and working meals will be supplemented with a vigorous social program to foster these interactions. The GRC program will be organized into nine morning and evening sessions entitled: (1) Evolution; (2) Metabolism; (3) Bacteriophage; (4) Cell surface and secreted compounds; (5) Intestinal symbioses; (6) Food ecosystems; (7) Vaginal symbioses; (8) Bioengineering, and (9) Synthetic biology. The GRC will thus promote the exchange of the latest ideas and techniques on LAB and deliver new collaborations while enhancing and promoting the careers of the next generation of scientists in this dynamic and exciting field.
