GORDON CONFERENCE ON MICROBIAL ADHESION AND SIGNALING

描述：第六届戈登分子机制研究会议 微生物黏附和信号传递会议将于1997年8月3日至8日在萨尔维举行 罗德岛州纽波特的瑞金娜学院。本次大会将延续 粘着和表面研究与信号和信号机制的统一 第五次会议开始的议题。会议将讨论 基于表面的元素的结构、功能和调节，包括 粘连、菌毛和受体，并将增加对信号和 信号机制。主题将包括细菌-细菌和 细菌-宿主信号，它们的合成及其作用机制。 随着正在进行的研究继续进行，这种统一是适当的 展示了粘着与沟通的紧密联系。这个 会议将是国际性和跨学科的，并将提供 介绍和讨论最新发现和想法的绝佳机会， 从而刺激未来的研究，这将进一步改善我们的 了解微生物黏附和信号。这些主题有 对于我们科学地理解环境(土壤， 与植物的相互作用，生物修复)，材料(生物膜，海洋 污垢)，以及人类、动物和植物疾病(寄主病原体 特异性、毒力决定因素、粘附性和信号传递)。《博大》 细菌系统的表示，以及来自物理的多种方法 从化学到分子遗传学再到细胞生物学，应该提供 与会者有机会达成协同的新理解。我们请求 资助20名毕业生旅费和会议登记的资金 学生和博士后研究员。我们将向工业界募集资金，用于 其他发言者。

DESCRIPTION: The Sixth Gordon Research Conference on Molecular Mechanisms of Microbial Adhesion and Signaling will be held August 3-8, 1997 at Salve Regina College, Newport, Rhode Island. This conference will continue the unification of adhesion and surface studies with signal and signal mechanism topics begun in the Fifth Conference. The Conference will address the structure, function and regulation of surface-based elements including adhesions, pili, and receptors, and will add an emphasis on signals and signal mechanisms. The topics will include bacterial-bacterial and bacterial-host signals, their synthesis and their mechanism for action. This unification is appropriate to continue as ongoing research continues to show the close connection between adhesion and communication. The conference will be international and interdisciplinary, and will provide an excellent opportunity to present and discuss the latest finding and ideas, and thus stimulate future research that will further improve our understanding of microbial adherence and signals. These topics have significance for our scientific understanding of the environment (soils, interactions with plants, bioremediation), of materials (biofilms, marine fouling), and of human, animal, and plant disease (host-pathogen specificity, virulence determinants, adhesion and signaling). The broad representation of bacterial systems, and multiple approaches from physical chemistry to molecular genetics to cellular biology, should provide the chance for synergistic new understanding by the participants. We request funds to subsidize travel and conference registration for 20 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. We will solicit funds from industry for other speakers.
