Conference Description
The Staphylococcal Diseases GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
The Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Staphylococcal Diseases is a premier opportunity for intellectual exchange between graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and other trainees studying staphylococci. Microbiologists with comparable levels of experience and education will present new and unpublished research at the forefront of their respective disciplines. By promoting these discussions in a small and casual group setting, the GRS creates a sense of community amongst the trainees which promotes a higher level of engagement and interaction during the subsequent Staphylococcal Gordon Research Conference.
This meeting will highlight cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research on understanding the evolution and adaptation of the staphylococcus genus to host niches to facilitate the challenge against molecular mechanisms of microbial infection. Four plenary sessions and two poster sessions will feature presenters from diverse career stages, backgrounds, and subdisciplines in staphylococcal biology, with the goal of fostering holistic discourse, collaboration, and furthering our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying staphylococci. To be considered for an oral presentation abstracts must be submitted by April 27,2025. We expect oversubscription to the meeting, so we encourage you to submit your abstracts early!
