Project Summary The inaugural Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Bacterial Cell Biology and Development (BCBD) will be held at Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester, NH on June 4-9, 2023. This conference will encompass the newest advances in understanding essential cell biological processes in a diversity of bacteria, including human pathogens, residents of the microbiota, and organisms relevant to antibacterial therapies. Research areas to be discussed include processes that represent well-validated targets for the development of new antimicrobial drugs such as cell biology of envelope biogenesis, cell division, and DNA replication and segregation. Other session topics focus on mechanisms central to bacterial replication, survival during stress, and pathogenesis, including signaling, cellular organization and structure, cellular decision-making, and motility. The conference will also include a themed session in the emerging area of cell biology of interspecies interactions, including presentations on predatory bacteria and residents of the mammalian gut microbiota. We aim to include and stimulate interdisciplinary research by bringing together geneticists, biochemists, cell biologists, bacteriologists, structural biologists, imaging specialists, physicists, and computational modelers who are at the forefront of developing and implementing technologies that push our understanding of bacterial cell biology and development forward. The aims of the conference are (1) To advance the most important problems in BCBD by providing a forum for presentation of recent research in the field by conceptual and technical leaders (2) To promote innovation and interdisciplinary thought by including speakers and discussion leaders with diverse training, experimental organisms, and approaches (3) To promote networking, exchange of ideas, and collaboration by providing abundant opportunities for formal and informal interactions among attendees (4) To promote equity and inclusion by inviting and supporting women and individuals from groups underrepresented in science to present and interact at the GRC and (5) To facilitate inclusion and career development of early career scientists by inviting new independent investigators, postdoctoral fellows, and students to participate and present their research, and by facilitating their interactions with each other and with established investigators.
