Microbial Sensing, Signaling and Survival in Stress

The Gordon Research Seminar on Microbial Stress Response is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas. Our goal is to bring together early-career scientists in a highly stimulating environment to present their current research, learn about career options, and build informal networks with others interested in how bacteria adapt in response to stress.

We will be considering abstracts in all fields related to basic research in bacterial stress response. These include, but are not limited to, stress sensing and signal transduction, host-microbe interactions, stress response in microbial communities, antibiotic stress resistance, and stress-induced alterations in bacterial lifestyles. Session topics will be finalized upon review of abstracts.

This meeting, the fourth Microbial Stress Response GRS, will be held in conjunction with the Microbial Stress Response Gordon Research Conference. The GRS program will consist of a keynote presentation and discussion, a mentorship panel showcasing the diversity of careers available to PhD microbiologists, two poster sessions, and eight speakers selected from the submitted abstracts. Attendees will have the opportunity to interact with the keynote speaker and mentorship panel throughout the duration of the GRS during lunches, dinners, and poster sessions.
