Bacteria & Phages

New York, United States (August 20-24, 2008)

The specific goal of this meeting is to bring together a group of scientists studying diverse aspects of prokaryotic biology using the tools of molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, and structure analysis. The meeting is intended to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and information and to discuss the latest research findings and technical advances. We encourage the submission of abstracts covering diverse topics and under-repesented organisms and particularly encourage junior investigators to present their results at the meeting.

The format of the meeting will include morning and evening sessions, selected from the abstracts, principally on unpublished work. In addition, there will be two poster sessions, held in the afternoons.
