Conference Description
The Salmonella Biology and Pathogenesis GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes an array of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.
The 2027 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on "Salmonella Biology and Pathogenesis" will bring together the world's leading experts from diverse disciplines to discuss a broad range of topics related to Salmonella biology, from epidemiology and vaccines to cell biology and gene regulation. Attendees will include a combination of independent investigators at all stages, post-doctoral scholars, and graduate students. There will be nine themed sessions - session leaders will provide concise overviews of each topic and stimulate active discussion among participants.
Dedicated time slots for short talks are reserved in thematic seminar sessions for presentations by early career scientists, providing them with opportunities to share their discoveries and gain valuable exposure. These presentations will be selected from submitted abstracts. Participants interested in being considered for a short talk should submit an abstract by February 1, 2027. Poster sessions will promote extended discussions between colleagues across disciplines and career stages. To integrate and develop the next generation of scientists in our field, the GRC will be preceded by a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). Together the Seminar and Conference will provide a cutting-edge forum that will facilitate interdisciplinary interactions and ultimately accelerate research aimed at understanding, controlling and treating Salmonella infections.
The conference chair is currently developing their preliminary program, which will include 9 sessions and the names of the invited speakers and discussion leaders for each of these sessions. The preliminary program will be available by October 21, 2026. Please check back for updates.
