# Event Details - **Event Name**: 70th Annual Wind River Conference on Prokaryotic Biology, June 17-20, 2026 - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 17 Jun, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Sat, 20 Jun, 2026 at 09:00 am (-06:00) - **Event Description**: We are excited to announce the 70th Annual Wind River Conference on Prokaryotic Biology at the Beaver Run Resort in Breckenridge, ColoradoAbout this EventTHE WIND RIVER CONFERENCE ON PROKARYOTIC BIOLOGYThis conference focuses on the biology of diverse prokaryotic and lower eukaryotic systems. It is the major annually-occurring international meeting devoted to this subject area and is often a conference where "emerging" genetic systems as well as "novel model systems" are first described.The meeting has always been open to all researchers working in the field of genetic exchange, prokaryotic biology and related areas, including DNA repair, restriction-modification systems, recombination pathways, thermophilic biology, and archaeal biology.A major strength of the meeting has always been the diversity of systems represented. This diversity has provided a fertile environment for new ideas and for applying well-established concepts to newly emerging systems.Historically, a significant feature of the meeting has also been the accessibility to graduate students and post-doctoral fellows.More info at http://wriver.sites.unlv.edu/Convener 2026 meetingThe 2026 conference will be convened by Dr. Cecilia Martinez-Gomez. Dr. Martinez-Gomez is an Associate Professor in Dept of Plant and Microbial Biology at UC-Berkeley. For questions about the scientific program, please email windriverconference@gmail.com.

The Martinez-Gomez laboratory does research in one-carbon metabolism through the lenses of Structural Biology, Molecular Biology, Genetic Engineering, and Biotechnology. Our projects are centered on unraveling the role of lanthanides in biology with a focus on lanthanide biochemistry, lanthanide-dependent bacterial metabolism, and microbe-plant interactions. In doing so, we aim to develop bacterial platforms to further the agricultural and energy industries through bioleaching, biometallurgy, bioremediation, and electronic waste recycling.Please contact Dr. Martinez-Gomez for questions about the scientific program at cecimrtinez@berkeley.edu" } ] } ] ```
