Marine Microbes (GRS)

Gordon Research Seminar

'Omic Enabled Ecophysiology of Marine Microbes

June 21 - 22, 2014
Chair

Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Marine Microbes 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.

The focus of this meeting is to present cutting-edge research involving the integration of ‘omic and ecophysiology approaches to better understand microbial interactions and coupled biogeochemical cycles in the ocean. The Seminar will feature a wide range of topics including but not limited to: gene expression, single-cell genomics, data-intensive computing and visualization, cultivation, process rate measurements, secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), and Raman spectroscopy.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Marine Microbes" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
