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!
