<p style="text-align:center" align="center"><strong>17th International Workshop on Campylobacter, Helicobacter and Related Organisms</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center" align="center"><strong>15 – 19 September 2013</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;padding-left:30px" align="center"><strong>Call for Papers</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;padding-left:30px">The CHRO Conference 2013 is suited to all professionals studying Campylobacter, Helicobacter and related organisms, including professors and researchers from universities, government, and industry, public health epidemiologists, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, veterinarians, and physicians. It is the leading international conference, where cutting edge research meets medicine, industry and policy. This conference returns to Europe for the first time in 6 years, where more than 600 participants are expected. This will be a unique opportunity to see the recent groundbreaking developments on these important pathogens.</p>
