项目摘要

Project Summary The major objective of the conference is to bring together researchers from the biological and physical sciences that are investigating stress responses in environmental, biotechnology, and medically relevant contexts. These stress responses are central to our understanding and controlling microbial survival in the vast array of environmental niches inhabited by microbes. Whether in aquatic, soil, or host environments, microbes must respond to fluctuations in temperature, the concentrations of ions, nutrients, oxygen or other electron acceptors, toxins, and osmolytes. Survival and subsequent niche specialization by microbes relies upon both individual cellular responses and community interactions in these environments. The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Microbial Stress Response is the premier and unique forum for the exchange of scientific discoveries in the field and the wide range of cutting edge approaches utilized in this research. There is a longstanding commitment of this GRC to offering an open, welcoming meeting that will attract and support junior scientists (graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and newly independent researchers) to present their research in talks or at posters. A third of the talks are selected from the posters abstracts and are most often given by junior scientists. In 2014, this goal will be expanded by supporting a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Microbial Stress Response prior to the GRC. The two-day GRS will bring young scientists together in a stimulating environment to discuss their current research, learn about career development, and build informal networks with their peers. A poster blitz, where researchers have the opportunity to orally preview their poster to the community, will be another mechanism introduced at this meeting to facilitate increased and earlier interaction of all participants. With a commitment to diversity in mind that accurately represents our scientific community, 21 out of 36 of the invited or confirmed speakers/discussion leaders for the GRC are female and several are members of under-represented minority groups. Invited speakers also include several international scientists to increase the global scientific interactions in the microbial stress response field. The Gordon Research Conferences historically attracts scientists from undergraduate institutions, as well as research universities and institutes, providing a unique atmosphere for exchange among scientists at all levels. Clearly, the content of the meeting has the potential to inform an amazing range of areas including human health and disease, microbial-based alternative energy sources, geomicrobiology, and climate change. This conference brings together scientists from across the spectrum of microbial stress studies providing the ideal setting for cross-fertilization of ideas that have the potential to lead to significant new advances and the development and application of exciting new methodologies.

项目概要会议的主要目标是汇集来自生物和物理领域的研究人员研究环境、生物技术和医学相关压力反应的科学上下文。这些应激反应对于我们理解和控制微生物生存至关重要微生物栖息的大量环境生态位。无论是在水生、土壤还是宿主环境中，微生物必须对温度、离子、营养物、氧气或其他物质浓度的波动做出反应电子受体、毒素和渗透剂。微生物的生存和随后的生态位专业化依赖于取决于这些环境中的个体细胞反应和群体相互作用。戈登微生物应激反应研究会议 (GRC) 是首要且独特的交流论坛该领域的科学发现以及本研究中使用的广泛的前沿方法。该 GRC 长期以来致力于提供一次开放、热情的会议，以吸引和支持初级科学家（研究生、博士后研究员和新独立研究人员）在演讲或海报中展示他们的研究。三分之一的演讲选自海报摘要，最常由初级科学家给出。 2014 年，这一目标将通过支持 Gordon Research 得到扩展 GRC 之前的微生物应激反应研讨会 (GRS)。为期两天的GRS将汇聚年轻科学家在一个令人兴奋的环境中一起讨论他们当前的研究，了解职业发展，以及与同行建立非正式网络。海报闪电战，研究人员有机会口头表达向社区预览他们的海报，将是本次会议引入的另一个机制，以促进所有参与者增加和更早的互动。牢记对多样性的承诺，准确地代表我们的科学界，在 36 名受邀或确认的演讲者/讨论领袖中，有 21 名代表我们的科学界集选区成员均为女性，其中有几位是代表性不足的少数群体的成员。特邀演讲者还有包括几位国际科学家，以增加微生物压力方面的全球科学互动响应字段。戈登研究会议历来吸引了本科生科学家机构以及研究型大学和研究所，为相互交流提供了独特的氛围各级科学家。显然，会议的内容有可能传达一系列惊人的信息领域包括人类健康和疾病、基于微生物的替代能源、地球微生物学和气候变化。这次会议汇集了来自微生物应激领域的科学家研究为思想的交叉融合提供了理想的环境，这些思想有可能产生重大的成果新进展以及令人兴奋的新方法的开发和应用。
