Microbial Stress Response: New Insights into Bacterial Adaptation in Response to Fluctuating Environments
In-Person Event
Jul 14 - 15, 2018
South Hadley, Massachusetts, USA
OVERVIEW
Microbial Stress Response: New Insights into Bacterial Adaptation in Response to Fluctuating Environments is organized by Gordon Research Conferences (GRC) and will be held from Jul 14 - 15, 2018 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, Massachusetts, United States of America. The target audience for this medical event is Psychologists.
Course Description :
This meeting will be held in conjunction with the Microbial Stress Response Gordon Research Conference at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, MA. The goal of this 2-day GRS is to provide a platform for early-career scientists to showcase unpublished research on how bacteria evade and/or respond to stress and to promote the formation of a collaborative research community among graduate students, post-docs, and junior faculty. In addition to a keynote presentation and a mentorship panel, we will have two sessions consisting of talks, chosen from the submitted abstracts.
Our first full session of talks (on Day 1) is entitled "All things considered: A global view on how extracellular environments and population interactions shape bacterial stress responses" and will feature a broad set of topics including but not limited to:
• Microbe-Host Interactions,
• Stress dynamics within Microbial Communities, including Quorum sensing and Biofilm formation,
• Bacterial Persistence, Sporulation and Subpopulation responses, and
• Microbial cell surface recognition elements and Signal Transduction.
The second full session (on Day 2) is entitled "Small things considered: A focused view of how molecular interactions shape the bacterial stress response" and will present a more molecular view, on topics including, but not limited to:
• Science at the Single-Cell level,
• Gene silencing, DNA damage, and replication effects,
• Molecular responses to bacteriophage infection and antibiotic challenge, and
• Regulation by signaling molecules, including the stringent response, small RNAs, and transcription/translation factors.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
