This award supports a Conference on Cell-Cell Communication in Bacteria (CCCB). The organizers have designed a program that showcases innovative new research based on theory-driven, multi-disciplinary approaches and the use of novel technologies to garner a deeper understanding of the cell-cell communication underpinning coordinated group behaviors in bacteria. Such pheromone- or metabolite-mediated signaling within and between species of microbes, often termed ?quorum sensing?, represents a biological phenomenon of great importance to life on earth by controlling a range of microbial behaviors and processes with enormous consequences for human and animal health, agriculture, energy and the environment. The budget requested will be used to support travel of beginning investigators, as well as postdoctoral and student researchers, several of whom will be selected for oral presentations based on their submitted conference abstracts. The organizers of the conference have made a particular effort to be broadly inclusive in terms of gender balance and minority participation.The conference, which will be held in October 2014 in San Antonio Texas, will bring together leading researchers in the field including international participants. The CCCB organizers present a forward-thinking agenda at this conference with presentations by theorists, computational biologists, engineers, chemists and physicists. Some sessions focus on host-pathogen interactions and the role of cell-cell communication in pathogenesis, symbiosis and mutualism. Other areas focus on understanding how bacterial pheromone-mediated signaling affects host plants or animals, which are now known to have evolved mechanisms to detect, disrupt, and respond to microbial signals.

该奖项支持一场细菌（CCCB）的细胞传播会议。 组织者设计了一项程序，该程序以理论驱动的，多学科的方法以及使用新型技术来展示创新的新研究，以更深入地了解细胞中的细胞 - 细胞交流，这是细菌中协调的群体行为。 这种信息素 - 或代谢物介导的微生物物种之间和物种之间的信号传导通常被称为“ Quorum Sensing？”，这代表了一种对地球生命非常重要的生物学现象，通过控制一系列微生物行为和过程，对人类和动物健康，农业，能源和环境产生巨大后果。 要求的预算将用于支持初学调查员以及博士后和学生研究人员的旅行，其中一些将根据提交的会议摘要选择口头演讲。会议的组织者已经做出了特别的努力，以在性别平衡和少数群体参与方面具有广泛的包容性。该会议将于2014年10月在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥举行，将召集该领域的主要研究人员，包括国际参与者。 CCCB组织者在这次会议上提出了一个前瞻性的议程，理论家，计算生物学家，工程师，化学家和物理学家的演讲。 一些会议的重点是宿主 - 病原体相互作用以及细胞 - 细胞通信在发病机理，共生和互助中的作用。其他领域的重点是了解细菌信息素介导的信号如何影响宿主的动植物，现在已知已经发展了检测，破坏和响应微生物信号的机制。
