NIBIB’s mission is to transform through engineering the understanding of disease and its prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment. Life would not be possible without liquid crystalline (LC) order. The most celebrated example is the unique combination of flexibility and confining ability of cell membranes which is possible because lipids cooperatively aggregate into a lamellar LC phase in water. Many viruses, e.g., SARS-CoV-2, are enveloped in a lipid membrane and they may employ LC order for packing their nucleic acid cargo. Non-biological LCs have turned out to be sensitive in detecting and reporting on the presence of pathogens and toxins, making them highly interesting for autonomous bio-/chemosensors. LC formation is thus an integral component of what keeps us healthy, and they are emerging as a powerful tool for detecting disease agents. Although this connection is long known, it has until now been researched only marginally, constituting an under-explored opportunity in addressing societal needs. Today, the international LC research community is undergoing a rebirth, fully embracing these aspects. Interdisciplinary crossovers where LC science meets biological, life and pharmaceutical sciences, and engineering and materials science, play a groundbreaking role in leveraging the opportunities. Additional impact on the core fields of the NIH-NIBIB mission comes from, e.g., the exploration of LC elastomers in soft actuators or implants in the human body. Objective. Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) in Liquid Crystals, 2025: “Uniting disciplines for global challenges: Liquid crystals as active and learning materials” to take place July 6-11th 2025 (GRS July 5-6, 2025) at the Southern New Hampshire University, Manchester, NH, US. The joint meetings will bring together US and international researchers at the forefront of today’s vibrant LC science, spanning its full breadth and connecting academia, industry and military labs, early career and established researchers, and harnessing every opportunity to promote scientific discussions and encourage collaboration between speakers, discussing leaders and participants. Approach. 23 prominent speakers have confirmed our invitations to present unpublished cutting-edge research. Our goal is to promote the participation of students, postdocs, and scholars at an early stage of their careers. We seek to promote scientific discussion among all participants who will fuel the future of Liquid Crystal Science in biomedical and biotechnology applications. Academic speakers are complemented by 2 industry and 2 military research lab speakers. Additionally, 5 speaker slots will be given to outstanding scientists selected from submitted poster abstracts. To further strengthen the voice of young researchers, the GRC is preceded by the GRS, catering only to students and post-docs and providing mentoring and career advice. During the GRC, young scientists will be given priority in all scientific discussions.", "keywords": [ "2019-nCoV", "Academia", "Address", "Applied Research", "Area", "Augmented Reality", "Basic Science", "Biocompatible Materials", "Biological", "Biotechnology", "Birth", "Caring", "Cell membrane", "Collaborations", "Communities", "Complement 2", "Detection", "Diagnosis", "Discipline", "Disease", "Drug Delivery Systems", "Elastomers", "Engineering", "Environment", "Faculty", "Fostering", "Future", "Goals", "Health Status", "Human body", "Implant", "Industry", "International", "Joints", "Leadership", "Life", "Lipids", "Liquid substance", "Membrane Lipids", "Mentors", "Military Personnel", "Mission", "Monitor", "National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering", "New Hampshire", "Nucleic Acids", "Oral", "Participant", "Pharmacologic Substance", "Phase", "Play", "Postdoctoral Fellow", "Prevention", "Public Health", "Recommendation", "Recording of previous events", "Reporting", "Research", "Research Personnel", "Robotics", "Role", "Science", "Scientist", "Students", "Text", "Therapeutic", "Tissue Engineering", "Toxin", "United States National Institutes of Health", "Universities", "Virus", "Voice", "Water", "career", "elastomeric", "fascinate", "flexibility", "frontier", "learning materials", "liquid crystal", "materials science", "meetings", "pathogen", "peer", "posters", "sensor", "social", "student participation", "symposium", "tool" ], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "14772", "attributes": { "award_id": "1R13AI181376-01", "title": "2024 New Antibacterial Discovery and Development Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar", "funder": { "id": 4, "ror": "https://ror.org/01cwqze88", "name": "National Institutes of Health", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 22573, "first_name": "Barbara L.", "last_name": "Mulach", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2023-12-01", "end_date": "2024-11-30", "award_amount": 9000, "principal_investigator": { "id": 31472, "first_name": "Peter", "last_name": "Smith", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 226, "ror": "https://ror.org/05rad4t93", "name": "Gordon Research Conferences", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "RI", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "The primary objective of the 2024 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on New Antibacterial Discovery and Development (NADD) and its associated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) is to address the urgent demand for new, effective antibacterial drugs. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the potential for infectious diseases to significantly impact society. Despite the historical success of antibiotics, the increasing prevalence of drug- resistant bacteria has not diminished the threat they pose. While many conferences focus on a single aspect of the antibacterial crisis— e.g., virulence mechanisms of specific bacteria, new chemistries enabling novel inhibitor design, or the use of new drugs in clinical practice, the 2024 GRC on NADD is positioned at the intersection of basic science, drug development, and government partnerships. It uniquely creates a multi-disciplinary environment where attendees can define and explore pathways to generate the next generation of safe and effective antibacterial drugs. Despite the lessons from COVID-19 and the growing threat of drug-resistant bacteria, large pharmaceutical companies continue to exit the antibacterial field while small biotechnology companies struggle with unique economic challenges related to antibacterial commercialization. Meanwhile, much of the excitement in the infectious diseases space has shifted toward novel vaccine technologies for viral infections. Although these advances may eventually benefit drug-resistant bacterial infections, they do not diminish the need for innovative, safe, and effective direct-acting antibacterial drugs. Consequently, fostering a community of scientists dedicated to innovation and calculated risk-taking in this field is more critical than ever. The 2024 GRC and GRS will offer opportunities for critical thinking on the latest findings and technological advancements in the field of antibacterial discovery and, importantly, will allow cross-disciplinary learning from recent challenges and successes in the ongoing fight against bacterial drug resistance. Previous GRCs on NADD have fostered a collaborative atmosphere in a typically competitive scientific landscape. Building on this tradition, the 2024 GRC and GRS will focus on three main areas: 1) exploring new technologies to identify new druggable targets, novel inhibitors, and approaches to improve target accessibility, 2) identifying challenges and solutions for progressing molecules from proof-of-concept hits to bonafide lead molecules or development candidates, and 3) learning from recent clinical successes and setbacks. The ultimate goal of the 2024 GRC and GRS is to establish and maintain a scientific ecosystem with expertise covering the entire spectrum of the antibacterial discovery and development process. By cultivating such communities, we can ensure that the next generation of antibacterial medicines will be available to address the growing threat of drug-resistant bacteria.", "keywords": [ "Academia", "Address", "Anti-Bacterial Agents", "Antibiotic Resistance", "Antibiotics", "Area", "Bacteria", "Bacterial Drug Resistance", "Bacterial Infections", "Basic Science", "Biotechnology", "COVID-19", "COVID-19 pandemic", "Cell Membrane Permeability", "Cells", "Chemicals", "Chemistry", "Clinic", "Clinical", "Clinical Pathways", "Clinical Trials", "Collaborations", "Combined Modality Therapy", "Communicable Diseases", "Communication", "Communities", "Critical Thinking", "Dedications", "Development", "Drug resistance", "Economics", "Ecosystem", "Ensure", "Environment", "Failure", "Fostering", "Foundations", "Future", "Future Generations", "Goals", "Government", "Industry", "Infection", "Lead", "Learning", "Medicine", "Membrane", "Multi-Drug Resistance", "National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease", "Natural Products", "Pathway interactions", "Patients", "Permeability", "Pharmaceutical Preparations", "Pharmacologic Substance", "Phenotype", "Positioning Attribute", "Predisposition", "Prevalence", "Process", "Public Health", "Research", "Research Personnel", "Resistance", "Risk Taking", "Scientist", "Societies", "Technology", "Virulence", "Virus Diseases", "career", "clinical development", "clinical practice", "collaborative environment", "combat", "commercialization", "design", "drug development", "drug resistant bacteria", "fighting", "future pandemic", "global health", "improved", "inhibitor", "innovation", "insight", "interest", "lead optimization", "meetings", "membrane biogenesis", "multidisciplinary", "new technology", "new therapeutic target", "next generation", "novel", "novel strategies", "novel therapeutics", "novel vaccines", "pathogen", "prevent", "resistance mechanism", "success", "symposium" ], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "14858", "attributes": { "award_id": "1R13ES036854-01", "title": "2024 International Meeting of the Pacific Basin Consortium for Environment and Health", "funder": { "id": 4, "ror": "https://ror.org/01cwqze88", "name": "National Institutes of Health", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 22577, "first_name": "Brittany", "last_name": "Trottier", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2024-07-09", "end_date": "2025-06-30", "award_amount": 48000, "principal_investigator": { "id": 27582, "first_name": "Stephania A", "last_name": "Cormier", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 1505, "ror": "", "name": "LOUISIANA STATE UNIV A&M COL BATON ROUGE", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "LA", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "The Pacific Basin Consortium for Environment and Health (PBC) will partner with Louisiana State University Superfund Research Program (LSU SRP) investigators to develop a series of meetings on topical themes.

The 2024 Hemostasis GRC is the 36th meeting in this series which is widely considered as the premier scientific meeting for hemostasis and thrombosis research. The GRC/GRS fulfills the mission of the NHLBI in several important ways. First, the Hemostasis GRS/GRC is an extremely important forum in the blood science arena in which the latest unpublished research is presented and major advances in the field are unveiled. The meeting brings together researchers interested in the biology, biochemistry, and genetics of blood clotting proteins and platelets; physicians treating bleeding and thrombotic diseases, scientists from pharmaceutical companies developing new therapies for hemostatic disorders. Seminal discoveries in hemostasis and thrombosis and allied fields have stemmed from interactions originating at this conference. Free exchange of ideas and unpublished research, among all attendees, is a key to the success of our programs. Second, emphasis of this conference on young and emerging investigators to ensure the long-term sustainability of the blood science workforce. As such, the hemostasis GRC is preceded by the GRS, a two-day program exclusively focused on trainees who are committed to research careers in hemostasis and thrombosis. The GRS is organized and run by trainees. Third, and a major priority of the 2024 Hemostasis GRS and GRC programs, is to increase the diversity of participation by speakers and attendees. Starting from the diverse composition of the leadership team, including the GRC Chair (Dr. Arepally)/Co-Chair (Dr. Washington) and GRS Chair (Dr. Branfield) to the invited speakers/session leaders (including 38% junior/emerging investigators, ~33% female investigators and 20% under-represented minorities) and a dedicated session (GRC Powerhour) focused on issues of diversity/equity/inclusion, next year’s program will establish a template for organizing future conferences as well as empower attendees to address racial barriers and inequities at their home institutions. The 2024 Hemostasis GRC program features a Keynote Session on lessons learned from the COVID19 Pandemic (The Pandemic: Looking Back & Moving Forward) and will be given by two prominent physician scientists, Dr. Jeffrey Berger and Dr. Matthew Neal, who were at the forefront of leading basic and clinical investigations. The 8 oral and 4 poster sessions focus on topics highly-relevant to hemostasis/thrombosis research including sessions on emerging concepts and tools (“Advancing Frontiers in Hemostasis”), in vitro and in vivo models of hemostasis (“Hemostasis: Models & More”), thrombotic disorders (“Clotting Gone Awry”), fundamental mechanisms (“Hemostasis: Inside & Out”), vascular biology (“Blood in Motion), structural studies (“Structure Meets Function”) and the biochemical basis of coagulation (“The Ties that Bind Us”).

The theme for 2024 is Microbial and Host Mechanisms Regulating Infection and Outcomes. This conference is designed to facilitate interaction and collaboration between microbiologists, immunologists, pulmonologists, infectious disease physicians, veterinarians, epidemiologists, public health officials, and others in related biomedical fields and at different stages of their career, who do not usually attend the same meetings. It is purposely designed with speakers working on bacterial, viral and fungal pathogen-induced pneumonia to allow for cross-disciplinary insights. Important in the design of the conference is the integration of basic and applied scientists from academia, industry and the government from around the world. The GRC is preceded by the Gordon Research Seminar (GRS), a unique forum for trainees and early career scientists with comparable levels of experience to present and exchange new data and cutting-edge ideas. The primary goals of the Biology of Respiratory Infections GRC/GRS are to 1) to promote an interdisciplinary, coordinated approach to understanding and controlling acute respiratory infections by integrating the scientific input from clinicians, public health, and basic scientists; 2) To afford early career scientists multiple opportunities to present their work to leading world experts; and 3) provide a forum to facilitate collaborations. A secondary goal is to provide training and career development opportunities for both new faculty and trainees at the associated GRS and throughout the meeting. Interwoven in this goal is opportunity for women and others from underrepresented groups to interact and develop relationships (e.g., mentors) with successful scientists from these same groups. These goals will be accomplished by organizing a format where basic scientists meet and interact with physicians, public health officials, scientists from industry and the government. The speaking program will include a diverse mixture of invited Senior and Junior Scientists as well as speakers selected from submitted abstracts. In addition, there will be poster sessions where all attendees will be encouraged to present. The venue and program are designed to encourage social interaction and discussion outside of presentations to provide the opportunity for fruitful exchange of ideas and to enable development of collaborations and future training opportunities. The GRC Power Hour™ remains an integral part of the conference and is designed to address challenges women and others from underrepresented groups face in science and issues of diversity and inclusion.

This meeting is a longstanding conference, that was originally held under the auspices of the American Society of Microbiology; the 2023 conference (rescheduled from 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic) will be the second GRC, and will be held at the Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco (Italy), a well-established site for the GRC organization. The 2023 meeting will be held July 23-28 and will have an associated Gordon Research Seminar to (i) provide students and postdocs a basic background in the concepts, principles, and mechanisms involved in different areas of Salmonella biology and pathogenesis; (ii) promote the interaction of junior investigators with their peers and selected senior members of the field (keynote speaker and discussion leaders); (iii) provide feedback on their research, thereby sharpening their presentation skills and the sophistication of their discussions in preparation for the main meeting and beyond. There is a need for a conference dedicated to the biology of Salmonella infections, because Salmonella is studied not only as an important cause of disease, but its well-characterized biology, genetics and infection models have made it the pathogen of choice to interrogate many fundamental aspects of biology, including innate and adaptive immunity, post-transcriptional gene regulation, and the function of the gut microbiota. The GRC will encompass a broad range of topics, from epidemiology and vaccines to cell biology and gene regulation. Attendees will include an equal distribution of independent investigators, post-doctoral scholars, and graduate students. There will be nine seminar sessions with session leaders that will provide an overview of the topic and stimulate discussion from the attendees. The 2023 meeting will be organized by Chairs Renée Tsolis (University of California, Davis) and Michael Hensel (University of Braunschweig, Germany) and the vice-chairs Leigh Knodler (Washington State University) and Dirk Bumann (Biozentrum, Basel, Switzerland). This meeting provides a forum where cutting edge research will be presented. There are slots reserved in thematic seminar sessions for presentations by postdoctoral fellows and graduate students, giving them an opportunity to share their discoveries and gain exposure. The inaugural GRS of this conference will be co-chaired by Lizbeth Camacho (University of California, Davis) and Joshua Newson (ETH, Zürich, Switzerland). This meeting provides an environment that enables networking and collaboration among investigators and gives post- doctoral researchers and graduate students access to leaders in Salmonella biology and related fields. The program includes new investigators that have not previously presented their research at this meeting, and includes sessions that reflect the emerging importance of antibiotic-resistant Salmonella and novel strategies to overcome antibiotic resistance.", "keywords": [ "Address", "American", "Antibiotic Resistance", "Area", "Biology", "COVID-19 pandemic", "California", "Cellular biology", "Cessation of life", "Collaborations", "Communicable Diseases", "Dedications", "Disease", "Ensure", "Environment", "Epidemiology", "Feedback", "Fees", "Funding", "Future", "Gender", "Gene Expression Regulation", "Genetic", "Germany", "Goals", "Human", "Immune response", "Immunology", "Incentives", "Infection", "International", "Italy", "Knowledge", "Mentors", "Microbiology", "Minority", "Mission", "Modeling", "National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease", "Natural Immunity", "Participant", "Pathogenesis", "Post-Transcriptional Regulation", "Postdoctoral Fellow", "Preparation", "Renaissance", "Research", "Research Personnel", "Salmonella", "Salmonella infections", "Schedule", "Scientist", "Senior Scientist", "Site", "Societies", "Students", "Switzerland", "Time", "Training", "Travel", "Universities", "Vaccines", "Voting", "Washington", "Woman", "adaptive immunity", "frontier", "graduate student", "gut microbiota", "interest", "meetings", "member", "microbial", "next generation", "novel strategies", "pathogen", "peer", "preference", "prevent", "programs", "skills", "success", "symposium" ], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "10824", "attributes": { "award_id": "1R13DE032539-01", "title": "2023 Salivary Glands and Exocrine Biology GRC and GRS", "funder": { "id": 4, "ror": "https://ror.org/01cwqze88", "name": "National Institutes of Health", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR)" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 26333, "first_name": "Amanda A", "last_name": "Melillo", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2023-01-01", "end_date": "2023-12-31", "award_amount": 15000, "principal_investigator": { "id": 26909, "first_name": "Olga Juliana", "last_name": "Baker", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 226, "ror": "https://ror.org/05rad4t93", "name": "Gordon Research Conferences", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "RI", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "This proposal requests partial support for the thirteenth Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and the third Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) entitled Salivary Glands and Exocrine Biology: Understanding the Biology of Secretory Function and Diseases of Exocrine Tissues to be held from Back January 29th-February 3rd, 2023, at the Four Points Sheraton hotel in Ventura, CA. The GRC will include plenary sessions on exocrine gland development, regenerative approaches, functional relevance of salivary proteins, membrane functions in exocrine glands, understanding the etiology of autoimmune disease, targeting inflammation to retard disease pathogenesis and current topics in exocrine gland:pathogen such as SARS-CoV2 interactions. Invited speakers for the GRC will include eminent scientists from academia, industry and government and talks will include both senior and junior scientists from diverse fields who will present current unpublished research findings on subjects identified by previous meeting organizers and attendees as of greatest interest to the field. Several keynote speakers will be invited to deliver seminars on stem cell therapeutics, clinical genomics and clinical trials for Sjögren's disease, a common autoimmune disease that affects exocrine glands and negatively impacts the quality of life of patients for whom no suitable and effective therapies are available. A noteworthy feature of this GRC will be continuation of a GRS to be held just prior to the GRC, first offered in 2017, that will invite only speakers who are graduate students and postdoctoral associates in a wide variety of laboratories worldwide. These junior scientists at the GRS will also attend the GRC where many of them will be chosen to give seminars that will be included in the plenary sessions. In addition, poster sessions will be held daily at the GRC to enable all attendees to present and discuss their data in an open forum. The overall goal of the GRC and GRS will be to foster scientific exchanges and engender research collaborations in disciplines that are viewed as having a major impact on the development of novel strategies to improve human health. Specific Aims in line with the NIDCR mission include: 1) to present a program of topical interest to scientists in academia, industry and government and to assemble junior and senior investigators in a pleasant setting where they will have opportunities to discuss unpublished findings before a knowledgeable audience and engage in a wide range of critical research discussions; 2) to offer a GRS to be attended by graduate students and postdoctoral associates who will present their novel research findings before an audience of their peers and; 3) to emphasize presentations on state-of-the-art methodologies of interest to the exocrine biology field towards the goal of developing innovative approaches to the improvement of human health by preventing disorders of secretory organs.", "keywords": [ "2019-nCoV", "Academia", "Affect", "Autoimmune Diseases", "Back", "Basic Science", "Biology", "Clinic", "Clinical", "Clinical Trials", "Collaborations", "Data", "Dental", "Development", "Developmental Biology", "Discipline", "Disease", "Emerging Technologies", "Environment", "Etiology", "Evaluation", "Exocrine Glands", "Fostering", "Genetic", "Genomics", "Glycobiology", "Goals", "Government", "Government Agencies", "Health", "Hearing", "Human", "Immune system", "Industry", "Inflammation", "Institution", "International", "Laboratories", "Lacrimal gland structure", "Learning Skill", "Lung", "Mammary gland", "Membrane", "Mentors", "Methodology", "Mission", "National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research", "Natural regeneration", "Oral", "Organ", "Pancreas", "Participant", "Pathogenesis", "Patients", "Postdoctoral Fellow", "Quality of life", "Request for Proposals", "Research", "Research Personnel", "Research Training", "Resolution", "Salivary Glands", "Salivary Proteins", "Scientist", "Secretory Cell", "Sjogren&apos", "s Syndrome", "Stress", "Sweat Glands", "Systems Biology", "Tissues", "Virus Diseases", "Work", "Writing", "career", "craniofacial", "effective therapy", "gland development", "graduate student", "improved", "innovation", "interest", "metabolomics", "novel", "novel strategies", "pathogen", "peer", "posters", "prevent", "programs", "regenerative approach", "saliva secretion", "stem cell therapy", "stem cells", "symposium", "tissue degeneration", "tissue regeneration", "tissue repair", "translational applications", "undergraduate student", "unpublished works" ], "approved": true } } ], "meta": { "pagination": { "page": 1405, "pages": 1419, "count": 14184 } } }
