DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The major goal of this biennial conference is to bring together young investigators, post-doctoral fellows and graduate students, together with senior investigators, to address issues in microbial glycobiology that span diverse fields. Previous versions of this meeting were focused on the microbial polysaccharides but the field has expanded and is much better addressed as microbial glycobiology. These meetings serve as an important forum to encourage multi-disciplinary interactions that could lead to new cutting-edge research directions and applications for microbial glycobiology. A multi-disciplinary meeting, such as a FASEB Summer Conference, is essential in this field because it provides interactions among investigators that normally have limited opportunities to meet and exchange ideas at national meetings. The proposed FASEB Summer Conference in 2014 on Microbial Glycobiology will span a broad range of topics with the common theme of glycobiology and its central role in areas such as pathogen interactions with host cells, the human microbiome, polysaccharide- based vaccines and therapeutics for human disease, industrial applications including biofilms, plant diseases, etc., where the central role of microbial glycans is of major importance for human health and economic activity. One of the strengths of this conference is the fact that it will not only embrace the usual forum for exchanging ideas (invited talks and poster presentations) but will encourage development of collaborations and identification of new directions for research. This will be accomplished by the informal format of the meeting in an idyllic setting, the ample time allowed for discussion, and the fact that the attendees will share living and eating quarters for four days. Individuals working in these different fields that all employ or study microbial glycobiology need to learn and utilize the expertise of others. It is clear that in this area of research a multidisciplinary approach is required to understand the complexity of these molecules and to utilize this knowledge for pharmaceutical or industrial applications. While, there are many opportunities to go to meetings to interact with investigators that do things closely related to an individual scientist's own interests in the field of microbial glycobiology; what is needed is a forum to bring together diverse attendees that share this common interest but study it from vastly different perspectives. The FASEB Summer Conference format provides a unique and preeminent opportunity to optimize such interactions among scientists from diverse areas of microbial glycobiology research.

描述（由申请人提供）：本两年一次的会议的主要目标是将年轻的调查员，博士后研究员和研究生与高级研究人员一起汇总，以解决跨越各种领域的微生物血糖学问题。这次会议的先前版本集中在微生物多糖上，但该领域已经扩大，并且作为微生物糖生物学更好地解决了。这些会议是鼓励多学科互动的重要论坛，这可能会导致新的尖端研究方向和微生物糖生物学的应用。在该领域的跨学科会议，例如FaseB夏季会议，因为它在调查人员之间提供了相互作用，这些调查人员通常在国家会议上有机会见面和交流想法的机会有限。拟议的FaseB夏季会议于2014年举行的有关微生物糖生物学的会议将涵盖广泛的主题，具有糖生物学的共同主题及其在病原体与宿主细胞相互作用等领域的核心作用，例如人类的微生物组，基于多糖的人类微生物组，基于多糖的人类疾病，包括人类疾病，包括生物疾病，包括人类的综合性，包括人类疾病，包括人类的综合性，等等，包括人类的中心作用，是综合性的，是综合性的，是综合性的，是综合性的，是综合性的，是综合性的，是综合性的，杂物等。健康和经济活动。这次会议的优势之一是事实是，它不仅将拥抱通常的论坛来交换思想（邀请会谈和海报演示），而且还将鼓励开发合作和确定新的研究方向。这将通过在田园诗般的环境中的非正式会议格式，允许讨论的时间以及与会者将共享四天的生活和饮食区的事实来实现。在这些不同领域工作的个人都需要学习或研究微生物糖生物学，以学习和利用他人的专业知识。显然，在这一研究领域，需要采用多学科方法来了解这些分子的复杂性，并将这些知识用于药物或工业应用。虽然有很多机会参加会议与调查人员互动，这些调查员与个人科学家在微生物领域的利益密切相关的事情 糖生物学；需要的是一个论坛，将各种参与者汇集在一起​​，以分享这一共同兴趣，但要从截然不同的角度进行研究。 FASEB夏季会议格式提供了一个独特而杰出的机会，以优化来自微生物糖生物学研究的科学家之间的这种相互作用。
