2010 Microbial Toxins and Pathogenicity Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Res

微生物毒素和致病性戈登研究会议（GRC）是微生物发病机制的主要国际会议。自1972年以来，该会议每两年举行一次。2010年会议将于7月11日至16日在新罕布什尔州的沃特维尔谷度假村举行，这是会议的新地点。新场地将容纳学生运行的戈登研究研讨会（GRS）微生物毒素和致病性，将在GRC之前的周末举行。如果需要的话，这个新网站还允许会议将与会者人数扩大到30人左右。在过去，申请参加GRC的人数超过了前一个网站的容量。微生物毒素和致病性GRC为研究人员提供了一个交流关于细菌毒素、微生物发病机制和宿主对微生物病原体反应的最新知识的场所。演讲者包括有经验的研究者，也包括有特殊前途的初级研究者。会议包括9个专题讨论会。每次会议由一位杰出的研究者主持，他将介绍会议的概述，并将演讲者的工作与会议的观点结合起来。会议主席还将担任讨论领导，他将保持与会者和演讲者之间的高水平互动。除了9个专题讨论会外，会议期间还有2个海报讨论会。鼓励每位与会者发表演讲或制作海报。在2010年，GRC之前将举行一个关于微生物毒素和致病性的周末戈登研究研讨会（GRS）。GRS由微生物发病机制领域的博士后和研究生规划和参加，并在GRC主席的指导下组织。微生物毒素和致病性GRS为我们未来研究微生物发病机制的主要研究者之间的科学互动提供了一个论坛。2008年的GRS有39名博士后和研究生参加，他们参加了10场讲座和两次海报会议。一些GRS参与者也将在2010年GRC会议上展示他们的研究成果。戈登微生物毒素和致病性研究会议是两年一次的微生物发病机制领域顶级研究人员会议。2010年会议将于7月11日至16日在新罕布什尔州的沃特维尔谷度假村举行。9场研讨会和2场海报会议将由主要研究人员介绍与微生物发病机制相关的主题数据。微生物毒素和致病性戈登研究研讨会（GRS）将在主要会议之前的周末举行。GRS将由博士后研究员和研究生参加，他们主要在NIH资助的学术研究实验室或国际研究实验室进行培训。这些受训者在微生物发病机制领域进行前沿研究，GRS为这些受训者提供了一个绝佳的机会，让他们成为我们领域未来的领导者。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Microbial Toxins and Pathogenicity is the premier international conference on microbial pathogenesis. The conference has met biennially since 1972. The 2010 meeting will be held from July 11th -16th at the Waterville Valley Resort in New Hampshire, which is a new site for the conference. The new site will accommodate the student run Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Microbial Toxins and Pathogenicity that will be held the weekend preceding the GRC. This new site also allows the conference to expand the number of attendees by ~ 30, if desired. In the past, applications to attend the GRC have exceeded the capacity of the previous site. The GRC on Microbial Toxins and Pathogenicity provides a venue for investigators to exchange the most current knowledge on bacterial toxins, microbial pathogenesis, and host response to microbial pathogens. Speakers include established investigators as well as junior investigators of exceptional promise. The conference includes nine seminar sessions. Each session is chaired by a prominent investigator who will present an overview of the session and place the speakers' work in perspective to the session. The session chair will also serve as the discussion leader who will maintain a high level of interaction between attendees and speakers. In addition to the nine seminar sessions, two poster sessions are active throughout the conference. Each attendee is encouraged to present either a talk or a poster. In 2010, the GRC will be preceded by a weekend Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Microbial Toxins and Pathogenicity. The GRS is planned- and attended- by post doctoral fellows and graduate students training in the field of microbial pathogenesis and is organized under the guidance of the GRC chairperson. The GRS on Microbial Toxins and Pathogenicity provides a forum for scientific interactions among our future principal investigators studying microbial pathogenesis. The 2008 GRS was attended by 39 post-doctoral fellows and graduate students who participated in ten talks and two poster sessions. Several GRS participants will also present their research at the 2010 GRC conference. The Gordon Research Conference on Microbial Toxins and Pathogenicity is a biennial meeting of the top investigators in the field of microbial pathogenesis. The 2010 conference will be held from July 11th -16th at the Waterville Valley Resort in New Hampshire. Nine seminar sessions and two poster sessions will be presented by leading researchers who will present data on topics related to microbial pathogenesis. A Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Microbial Toxins and Pathogenicity will be held the weekend preceding the main conference. The GRS will be attended by post-doctoral fellows and graduate students who train primarily in NIH- funded academic research laboratories or in international research laboratories. These trainees conduct cutting edge research in the field of microbial pathogenesis and the GRS provides an outstanding opportunity for these trainees to interact as future leaders of our field.
