TWELFTH INTERNATIONAL PATHOGENIC NEISSERIA CONFERENCE

此应用程序的目的是请求对“十二”的支持 国际致病奈瑟氏菌会议的重点 这次会议是致病性奈瑟氏菌对公共卫生的影响。 发达国家和发展中国家，以及基础研究和应用研究如何 对疾病的诊断、治疗和预防做出了贡献 由这些细菌引起的。这是世界上最大的国际会议 吸引了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。 从那时起，会议每两年举行一次， 在欧洲和北美之间交替。过去的会议有 允许在科学家之间建立密切的互动 交流思想、专业知识和新知识的不同科学背景 技术。这种跨学科的合作促进了开放的 对话，预计第十二届国际病原体 内塞里亚会议将延续这一传统。应用程序 请求为40名学生、博士后研究员和青年提供支持 调查人员将出席会议。 会议的具体目的是：1)召集来自 研究奈瑟氏奈瑟菌的大学、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引起的疾病 原因；2)评估目前对以下分子机制的研究 致病性奈瑟氏菌能够入侵和逃避宿主免疫系统； 3)分享新系列基因组学的新发展，并讨论和规划如何 这些信息将有助于基因表达的研究，并进一步 了解奈瑟菌与感染宿主的相互作用；4)评估 新的和正在开发的疫苗和治疗方法，以预防新的系列疾病；5) 传播关于致病机制的重要新发现和 奈瑟氏菌的流行病学监测，并提供信息以改进 通过免疫接种控制；以及6)制定新的研究议程 致病性奈瑟氏菌的研究及建议新的和未来的研究 计划，并确定优先顺序。

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.
