NDPIA PhD students – please provide information on your upcoming thesis defence!
NDPIA would like to promote and publish upcoming thesis defences of participants as news posts at www.ndpia.se. Therefore, you are strongly encouraged to provide anna.holmstrom@umu.se with information on your upcoming defence (university, title, name of opponent, date, time, venue and a short text in English describing your main findings), preferentially a couple of weeks before the defence will take place.
Which speakers would you like to invite to NIB 2017?
The next meeting of the National Infection Biology network (NIB) will be held 17-18 October 2017 outside Stockholm. The NIB meetings constitute an excellent networking forum for experimental researchers, physicians and epidemiologists interested in molecular and clinical microbiology, immunology and host-pathogen interactions. NDPIA members will be offered to participate in NIB 2017 free of charge (including accommodation).
At this initial planning stage the meeting organizers would highly appreciate suggestions with respect to speakers to invite in order to make the meeting attractive irrespective of the research field of participants.
Please e-mail your suggestions for speakers to invite: one female and one male, specifying their affiliation and area of expertise (including contact details if possible) to anna.holmstrom@umu.se by 17 November at the latest.
Many thanks in advance for contributing to making NIB 2017 an attractive meeting!

NDPIA course on “Microbial Immune Evasion” in Lund/Malmö 7-9 December
This 1.5 ECTS NDPIA course given in Lund/Malmö 161207-09 aims to provide an overview of the complex network of interactions between the human host and different microbes. The lectures will cover “immune evasion” from both the host’s and the pathogen’s point of view. Invited speakers will present ongoing research in the field of microbial immune-modulating mechanisms and give attendants deeper insight in methods and techniques that are useful for research within the field.
NDPIA emphasizes the importance to meet and discuss with other researchers within the field. Therefore, several networking activities are included in the course program and a free, informal dinner with invited speakers and course attendants will end day one.
Registration deadline: 7 November 2016
