2008 Microbial Toxins and Pathogenicity and Graduate Research Seminar

描述(由申请人提供)： 关于微生物毒素和致病性的戈登研究会议(GRC)是微生物发病机制领域的第一次会议。自1972年以来，它一直每两年举办一次。2008年会议将于7月13日至18日在新汉普郡安多弗的普罗科特学院举行，该学院是该学院多年的所在地。本次会议的主要目的是分享细菌毒素、微生物致病机制和宿主对微生物病原体反应机制的最新研究知识。演讲者包括该领域的知名领导者以及具有非凡前途的年轻研究人员。会议将由九场会议组成，每场会议将由一名杰出的调查员主持，他将介绍会议主题的摘要，并向与会者介绍发言者的工作情况。会议主席还在每次演讲后担任讨论领导者，以保持与会者和演讲者之间的高水平互动。除了全体会谈，会议还包括生动活泼、互动性强的海报会议。2008年，在主要会议之前，将举行由微生物致病学领域的博士后和博士后学员计划召开的周末会议。本次会议是戈登-凯南关于微生物毒素和致病性的研究生研究研讨会，将为这些未来该领域的领导者提供一个论坛，以演讲和海报的形式展示他们的工作，在一个共同和互动的环境中，这将为他们的整体GRC体验增加突出的价值。戈登微生物毒素和致病性研究会议是微生物发病机制领域的顶级研究人员每两年举行一次的会议。2008年的会议将于7月13日至18日在新罕布夏州安多弗的普罗科特学院举行。将举行九次研讨会，主要研究人员将介绍与该领域有关的各种专题的最新数据。除了这些受邀的演讲外，海报会议还将使与会者能够在活跃和互动的环境中分享新的实验发现。会议将包括充足的时间进行非正式的、大学式的互动，这些互动对于开展科学是至关重要的。在主要会议之前，将举行一次关于微生物发病机制的简短小型会议。这将由微生物发病机制领域的博士后和博士后实习生组织，并为他们组织。这一简短的会议将为未来该领域领导人之间的同行小组互动提供一个难得的机会。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Microbial Toxins and Pathogenicity is the premier meeting in the field of microbial pathogenesis. It has been running biennially since 1972. The 2008 meeting will be held from July 13 - 18 at the Proctor Academy in Andover, New Hampshire, its site for many years. The main objective of this conference is to share the newest knowledge from research on bacterial toxins, microbial pathogenesis and mechanisms of the host response to microbial pathogens. Speakers include well-established leaders in the field as well as young investigators of exceptional promise. The meeting will consist of nine sessions, each of which will be chaired by a prominent investigator who presents a summary of the session topic and places speakers' work into context for the attendees. The session chair also serves as discussion leader after each talk, to maintain a high level of interaction between the attendees and the speakers. In addition to the plenary talks, the meeting includes lively and highly interactive poster sessions. In 2008, the main conference will be preceded by a weekend meeting planned by and for post-doctoral and pre-doctoral trainees in the field of microbial pathogenesis. This meeting, the Gordon-Kenan Graduate Research Seminar on Microbial Toxins and Pathogenicity, will provide a forum for these future leaders in the field to present their work in talks and posters, in a collegial and interactive environment that will add outstanding value to their overall GRC experience. The Gordon Research Conference on Microbial Toxins and Pathogenicity is a biennial meeting of the top investigators in the field of microbial pathogenesis. The 2008 meeting is July 13-18 at Proctor Academy in Andover, New Hampshire. Nine seminar sessions will be held in which leading researchers will present recent data on a variety of topics relevant to the field. In addition to these invited talks, poster sessions will enable attendees to share new experimental findings in a lively and interactive setting. The meeting will include ample time for informal, collegial interactions that are so essential for carrying out science. A short mini-conference on microbial pathogenesis will be held preceding the main meeting. This will be organized by and for post-doctoral and pre-doctoral trainees in the field of microbial pathogenesis. This short conference will provide an exceptional opportunity for peer group interaction among future leaders of the field.
