Programme

The meeting will follow the longstanding and successful tradition of IPNC conferences to cover a broad range of research areas of relevance to the organisms, i.e. pathogenesis, clinical aspects, host defense, cellular microbiology, vaccines, epidemiology and population biology, genomics, antibiotic resistance. Anticipating progress on vaccinology and deep sequencing, some emphasis will be laid on latest developments in vaccine development and comparative genomics, respectively. The structure of the program and speaker selection should provide room for intensive discussions between scientists working in the fields of gonococci and meningococci. The epidemiology sessions will focus in part on meningococcal and gonococcal disease in developing countries.
