项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY The rich diversity of our microbial world influences every aspect of human life. Since 1985 the Microbial Population Biology Gordon Research Conference (GRC) has been the premier international meeting on the evolution and ecology of microbial populations, bringing together up to 200 scientists at the forefront of their disciplines for 5 days of intense interactions. Its long-term objective is to improve our understanding of the ecological and evolutionary forces responsible for this diversity. It is preceded by a 2-day Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) that combines research presentations with mentorship for approximately 75 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. The cancellation of the 2021 meetings due to the COVID pandemic was particularly unfortunate given the expertise and leadership of our community in studying and communicating the evolution and epidemiology of infectious disease. The goal of the 2023 Microbial Population Biology GRC and GRS is to understand how real microbes interact and evolve in nature, with a special emphasis on pandemics. Presenters will build upon decades of model- system research, often featured at previous conferences in this series, seeking to understand how microbial populations interact at scales from landscapes and oceans to intracellular mutualisms and disease. Three of the ten sessions will focus entirely on epidemics and pandemics, one in animal hosts, one in human hosts, and finally a COVID-19 session with a leading epidemiologist and a medical historian. Health-related themes also run through most of the other sessions (e.g., interactions in polymicrobial infections, vector-borne infections, emerging zoonoses, the evolution of antimicrobial resistance, prospects of phage therapy). We expect the 2023 edition of this conference to be timelier than ever before and more relevant to the mission of NIAID and other Institutes for its focus on microbes relevant to human health, including the origins and dynamics of pandemic infections. Our aims are the following: 1) To advance research of not just microbial population biology but also evolutionary epidemiology and microbiome sciences; 2) To catalyze discussions at the interface of related disciplines that study similar phenomena in different systems; 3) To provide a diverse, inclusive, collaborative environment for researchers to share and discuss their latest research on the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of microbial populations in natural communities, including many associated with humans that cause disease; 4) To promote interactions between established and junior investigators (students, postdoctoral trainees, and junior faculty); and 5) To support an independent, affiliated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) exclusively for postdoctoral scholars and graduate students to present and discuss their research.

项目概要微生物世界的丰富多样性影响着人类生活的各个方面。自 1985 年以来，微生物人口生物学戈登研究会议（GRC）是关于人口生物学的首要国际会议微生物种群的进化和生态学，汇集了多达 200 名处于其研究前沿的科学家为期 5 天的激烈互动纪律。其长期目标是提高我们对生态和进化力量造成了这种多样性。在此之前进行为期 2 天的戈登研究研讨会 (GRS)，将研究报告与指导相结合，为大约 75 名研究生提供指导和博士后研究员。由于新冠病毒大流行而取消的 2021 年会议尤其重要不幸的是，考虑到我们社区在研究和传播进化方面的专业知识和领导力和传染病流行病学。 2023 年微生物种群生物学 GRC 和 GRS 的目标是了解真实微生物如何相互作用并在自然界中不断演变，特别强调流行病。演讲者将建立在数十年的模型之上—— 系统研究，经常出现在本系列之前的会议上，旨在了解微生物如何人群在从景观和海洋到细胞内互利共生和疾病的各个尺度上相互作用。三个这十场会议将完全集中讨论流行病和大流行病，一场是动物宿主，一场是人类宿主，以及最后是由一位领先的流行病学家和一位医学历史学家参加的 COVID-19 会议。还有与健康相关的主题贯穿大多数其他会议（例如，多种微生物感染中的相互作用、媒介传播的感染、新出现的人畜共患病、抗菌素耐药性的演变、噬菌体疗法的前景）。我们预计 2023 年的本次会议将比以往任何时候都更及时、更贴近使命 NIAID 和其他研究所关注与人类健康相关的微生物，包括起源和大流行感染的动态。我们的目标如下： 1) 推进不仅仅是微生物的研究人口生物学，还有进化流行病学和微生物组科学； 2) 促进讨论研究不同系统中相似现象的相关学科的接口； 3）提供多样化、包容性、协作性的环境，让研究人员能够分享和讨论他们关于生态学的最新研究和自然群落中微生物种群的进化动态，包括许多与导致疾病的人类； 4) 促进资深研究者和初级研究者（学生、博士后实习生和初级教师）； 5) 支持独立的附属戈登研究研讨会 (GRS) 专门供博士后学者和研究生展示和讨论他们的研究。
