We will be present at the 2018 International Pathogenic Neisseria Conference

We will show our work on Monday and Thursday

Study of cell-shape diversity and evolution inside the Neisseriaceae family as a way to reveal new cellular functions.

Anti-Neisseria drugs screening start revealing the Achilles’ heel of N. meningitidis and N.
gonorrhoeae.

and I will moderate the Anti-Microbial Resistance and Therapies session the morning of Friday, Sept. 28.

Frédéric Veyrier obtained his M.Sc. degree from the INRS-Institut Armand Frappier Laval (Qc) on the metal homeostasis in different pathogens. He completed his PhD studies at McGill University, Montréal (Qc) on the evolution of the human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis. He moved back to France in 2010 as a young researcher at the Institut Pasteur, Paris (France). His research focused on the common evolution of nasopharyngeal pathogens like Neisseria meningitidis, Haemophilus influenzae or Moraxella catarrhalis . Specifically, he is studying how bacterial metal transport and cell-wall have evolved to adjust to the stringent and competitive nasopharynx environment. He is now an associate professor at the INRS-Institut Armand Frappier in Canada continuing his work on human bacterial symbionts evolution.
