ESF Research Conferences

BacNet10 will cover the mechanisms and principles of information collection, integration and implementation in bacteria. In the past decades molecular studies have unveiled the metabolic and regulatory circuitry of bacterial cells in unprecedented detail. This provides an excellent opportunity to analyze the physiology of these organisms on a systems level using quantitative, model-driven approaches. The meeting will actively involve world-leading scientists from different areas of molecular microbiology, computational modeling, and systems biology and will include sessions on global regulation, networks and switches, network modeling and engineering, microbial cell biology, microbial development, stress response, and cell-cell communication. By bringing together cutting-edge research from related but often non-intersecting fields, the meeting will strive for cross-fertilization of different ideas and concepts of modern-day microbiology. Young scientists are encouraged to apply for a meeting and travel grant upon registration.
