Microbial Stress: from Molecules to Systems

7-10 May 2009

Semmering, Austria

Microbial Stress: from Molecules to Systems, run under the auspices of the Microbial Physiology section of the European Federation of Biotechnology, provides a chance to hear about the latest research taking place in this area.  An excellent range of international scientists have already accepted invitations to speak at the meeting, and there will be many oral and poster presentations from participants.  By holding the meeting in a single venue, we hope to encourage maximum interaction between all participants, and we look forward to a few days of exciting and stimulating science. 

Rather than run sessions based around different stresses or organisms, we have deliberately chosen to have three research themes in the meeting, illustrated in the talks by reference to many different experimental approaches and model organisms, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic.  The title of the meeting reflects the fact that we will look at stress from all levels to detailed molecular biology through whole organism systems biology and up to the level of populations.  This kind of cross-fertilisation of ideas and techniques is crucial in gaining a complete understanding of microbial responses to stress.

The three themes of the meeting are:

There will be ample space for presentations and posters, and as the talks and all accomodation are in a single venue (the Panhans Grand Hotel), there will be many possibilities for meeting old friends and making new contacts.
