The Archaea: Ecology, Metabolism and Molecular Biology GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
2025 will see the third iteration of the Gordon Research Seminar accompanying the Gordon Research Conference on Archaea: Ecology, Metabolism and Molecular Biology providing these opportunities to early career researchers within the field. The focus of this meeting is to bring together young researchers from across the globe to promote the future of archaeal research.
The theme of the 2025 seminar is centered on advances in our understanding of the diversity of archaea not just phylogenetically but also in terms of their metabolisms and cell biology. To this end the conference will cover a broad range of topics including phylogenomics, metagenomics, metabolomics, biochemistry, cell biology, biogeochemistry, microscopy, biophysics, cultivation, ecology and more. All of this will be framed around the core theme of what exactly Archaea are, what they do, and what their position in the tree of life is.
Having successfully operated for 2 previous iterations our aim is to continue building the GRS for Archaea into a platform for early career archaeal researchers long into the future. Co-Chairs Nika Pende and Joshua Hamm look forward to welcoming you to the GRS 2025!
This GRC will be held in conjunction with the "Archaea: Ecology, Metabolism and Molecular Biology" Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRS in addition to an application for the GRC. Refer to the associated GRS program page for more information.
