The Gordon Research Seminar on Microbial Population Biology 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 Gordon Research Seminars constitute a unique platform for early-career scientists to share their work, to foster scientific collaboration, and promote a greater connectivity among the next generation of population biologists. This GRS on Microbial Population Biology will be the first of its kind and will focus on a broad array of current issues in the field such as host-pathogen interactions, new models in experimental evolution, synthetic biology, bacteria metagenomics and bacterial communication. The seminar will be held prior to the GRC on Microbial Population Biology and will culminate with a the presentation of Q&A session with two invited speakers who will share their experience in the field.
