2013 Microbial Adhesion & Signal Transduction Gordon Research Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：戈登微生物粘附和信号转导研究会议是一个重要的国际会议，汇集了一组研究人员，他们对理解细菌相互作用和动物宿主的不同机制有共同的兴趣。该会议每两年在罗得岛州纽波特的萨尔维里贾纳大学举行一次。2013年的会议将于7月21日至26日举行。会议将集中讨论用于解决微生物如何感知、反应、定植并最终在环境和宿主生物中传播等问题的各种方法。与会者将包括平均分配的独立研究者、博士后学者和研究生。分子，遗传，生化，免疫学和结构方法都将有代表。将有九个研讨会，由会议负责人提供主题概述，并激发与会者的讨论。2013年会议将由Craig R. Roy（耶鲁大学）主持，Jean-Marc Ghigo（巴斯德研究所）和当选副主席Matthew Parsek（华盛顿大学西雅图分校）和Jorg Vogel（维尔茨堡大学）协助主持。本次会议提供了一个论坛，将介绍细菌粘附和信号转导机制的前沿研究。在专题研讨会上，我们为博士后和研究生预留了一些名额，让他们有机会分享他们的发现，并在一个高影响力的国际会议上获得曝光。这次会议提供了一个环境，使研究人员之间的网络，并使博士后研究人员和研究生有机会接触微生物粘附和信号转导领域有影响力的领导者。该计划包括许多以前未在本次会议上展示其研究的新研究人员，并包括反映用于解决该领域开创性重要问题的多学科方法的新会议。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gordon Research Conference on Microbial Adherence and Signal Transduction is a premier international meeting that brings together a group of researchers with a shared interest in understanding the diverse mechanisms bacteria have evolved to interact with each other and animal hosts. The meeting is held biennially at Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island. The 2013 meeting will be held July 21-26. The meeting will focus on the diverse approaches used to address questions on how microbes sense, respond, colonize, and eventually spread in both the environment and in host organisms. Attendees will include an equal distribution of independent investigators, postdoctoral scholars, and graduate students. Molecular, genetic, biochemical, immunological and structural approaches will all be represented. There will be nine seminar sessions with session leaders that will provide an overview of the topic and stimulate discussion from the attendees. The 2013 meeting will be chaired by Craig R. Roy (Yale University), with the assistance of Jean-Marc Ghigo (Institute Pasteur), and the elected vice-chairs Matthew Parsek (University of Washington, Seattle) and Jorg Vogel (University of Wurtzburg). This meeting provides a forum where cutting-edge research will be presented on the mechanisms of bacterial adherence and signal transduction. There are slots reserved in thematic seminar sessions to be populated by postdoctoral fellows and graduate students, giving them an opportunity to share their discoveries and gain exposure at a high-impact international conference. This meeting provides an environment that enables networking among investigators, and gives postdoctoral researchers and graduate students access to influential leaders in the field of microbial adherence and signal transduction. The program includes many new investigators that have not previously presented their research at this meeting, and includes new sessions that reflect the multidisciplinary approaches being used to address questions of seminal importance in the field.
