This award will support students, postdoctoral researchers and early career investigators at the American Society of Microbiology(ASM) Conference on Cell-Cell Communication in Bacteria (CCCB6) to be held in Athens, Georgia in October, 2017. The conference showcases innovative new multi-disciplinary and theory-driven research to garner a deeper understanding of the cell-cell communication underpinning coordinated group behaviors in bacteria. Such signaling within and between species of microbes, often termed ?quorum sensing?, controls 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 early-career 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 will bring together leading researchers in the field including international participants. The organizers present a forward-thinking agenda at this conference, complementing the microbiological focus with presentations by theorists, synthetic biologists, computational biologists, engineers, chemists and physicists. Sessions cover such topics as the role of bacterial cell-cell communication in disease, the chemical diversity of signals, the evolution of microbial social behavior, bacterial group behaviors, computational modeling of regulatory circuits, ecological perspectives on cell-cell signaling, and applied aspects of signal disruption.

该奖项将于2017年10月在美国微生物学会（ASM）细菌通信（CCCB6）会议上的学生，博士后研究人员和早期职业调查人员（ASM）会议。2017年10月，将在乔治亚州雅典举行。会议展示了创新的新的多学科和理论驱动的研究，以对Cellner a BACERATIA进行群体的沟通，以促进细胞的沟通，以此为众所周知的群体进行群体的行为。 微生物物种内部和之间的这种信号传导通常被称为“法规传感？”，控制着一系列微生物行为和过程，对人类和动物健康，农业，能量和环境产生了巨大后果。 所要求的预算将用于支持早期研究人员的旅行，以及博士后和学生研究人员，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。会议将召集该领域的主要研究人员，包括国际参与者。 组织者在本次会议上提出了前瞻性的议程，以理论家，合成生物学家，计算生物学家，工程师，化学家和物理学家的演讲来补充微生物的重点。 会议涵盖了诸如细菌细胞 - 细胞通信在疾病中的作用，信号的化学多样性，微生物社会行为的演变，细菌群体行为的演变，调节回路的计算建模，对细胞细胞信号的生态观点以及信号破坏的应用方面。
