The purpose of this application is to request support for the "The Twelfth International Pathogenic Neisseria Conference." The emphasis of this conference is the public health impact of the pathogenic Neisseria in both developed and developing countries, and how basic and applied research are contributing to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases caused by these bacteria. This is the major international conference in the field and attracts over 400 scientists and public health officials from over 30 countries. The first conference in the series was held in 1978, in San Francisco, and conferences have been held every two years since then, alternating between Europe and North America. The conferences in the past have allowed for the establishment of close interactions among scientists from different scientific backgrounds for an exchange of ideas, expertise, and new technologies. Such interdisciplinary collaborations have fostered open dialogues and it is expected that the Twelfth International Pathogenic Neisseria Conference will continue in this tradition. The application requests support for 40 students, post-doctoral fellows and young investigators to attend the conference. The specific aims of the meeting are: 1) to bring together investigators from universities, governments and the biologics industry who study Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis and the diseases that these pathogens cause; 2) to assess the current studies on the molecular mechanisms by which the pathogenic Neisseria are able to invade and evade the host immune system; 3) to share new developments in neisserial genomics and discuss and plan how this information will facilitate studies of gene expression and further understanding of interaction of Neisseria with infected hosts; 4) to evaluate new and developing vaccines and treatment to prevent neisserial disease; 5) to disseminate important new findings concerning the pathogenic mechanisms and epidemiological surveillance of Neisseria and provide information to improve control through immunization; and 6) to develop a new research agenda for the study of the pathogenic Neisseria and to recommend new and future research initiatives and prioritize these.

本申请的目的是请求支持“第十二届 国际病原性奈瑟氏球菌会议。“强调 这次会议是在公共卫生的影响， 发达国家和发展中国家，以及基础和应用研究 有助于疾病的诊断、治疗和预防 由这些细菌引起的。 这是一个重要的国际会议， 吸引了来自世界各地的400多名科学家和公共卫生官员 30个国家。 该系列的第一次会议于1978年在旧金山举行， 弗朗西斯科，从那时起每两年举行一次会议， 在欧洲和北美之间交替。过去的会议 使科学家之间建立密切的互动， 不同的科学背景，交流思想，专业知识， 技术. 这种跨学科的合作促进了开放的 预计第十二届国际病原体 奈瑟氏球菌会议将继续这一传统。 应用 请求支持40名学生，博士后研究员和年轻人 调查人员出席会议。 会议的具体目标是：1）将来自 研究奈瑟菌的大学、政府和生物制品行业 淋病和脑膜炎奈瑟菌以及这些病原体 原因; 2）评估目前对分子机制的研究， 致病性奈瑟氏菌能够侵入和逃避宿主免疫系统; 3)分享奈瑟氏菌基因组学的新进展，并讨论和计划如何 这些信息将有助于基因表达的研究， 了解奈瑟菌与感染宿主的相互作用; 4）评估 预防奈瑟氏球菌病的新的和正在开发的疫苗和治疗方法; 5） 传播有关致病机制的重要新发现， 监测奈瑟氏菌的流行病学，并提供信息，以改善 通过免疫控制;和6）制定新的研究议程， 致病性奈瑟氏菌的研究，并建议新的和未来的研究 并优先考虑这些措施。
