TOPIC AREAS
-
Therapeutics/Antimicrobial Resistance/Diagnostics. Includes studies on detection, prevention, and development of new antimicrobials to combat resistance, novel therapeutic approaches to combat infection, and diagnostics.
-
Vaccines. Includes studies on development, evaluation, and implementation of vaccine strategies in preclinical settings and in vivo, and vaccination outcomes and impact on reinfection and transmission.
-
Host Responses to Infection. Includes studies of host molecular, cellular, and immunological responses to Neisseria in vitro and in vivo and how these can guide studies on the evaluation of therapeutics and vaccines.
