It gives us great pleasure in welcoming you to the 18th International Conference on Campylobacter, Helicobacter, and Related Organisms – CHRO 2015 – being held in the beautiful town of Rotorua in New Zealand! Rotorua is located in the Bay Of Plenty region and off ers unique experiences amidst breathtaking landscapes. It has a long (over 200 years!) history of welcoming visitors and its geothermal activity off ers the chance to enjoy warm, relaxing natural spa pools, as well as some truly beautiful scenery! Rotorua is the heartland of New Zealand Māori culture, and you will fi nd many opportunities to engage with and enjoy the warm hospitality and traditions of the Māori. Side-by-side with our rich cultural heritage are all the modern facilities one would expect from a modern, progressive nation – typifi ed perhaps by the Conference location at the Energy Events Centre, a purpose-built facility that is conveniently located just a short walk away from most of the major hotels that partnered with us to off er special conference rates. From the honour (and surprise!) of winning the right to host the conference back in 2013, developing CHRO 2015 has been an unforgettable journey. We thank all of our sponsors, the city of Rotorua, our plenary speakers, international advisors and most of all YOU for helping to make CHRO 2015 a very special occasion indeed. We hope you enjoy the conference – and all that New Zealand off ers in conjunction with it.

Peter Greenberg Dr. Greenberg holds a BA in Biology from Western Washington University, a MS in Microbiology from the University of Iowa and a PhD in Microbiology from the University of Massachusetts. After his postdoctoral at Harvard University Dr. Greenberg was on the faculty at Cornell University and then the University of Iowa College of Medicine before moving to the University of Washington in 2005. Dr. Greenberg is an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences and the American Academy of Microbiology. The research in Dr. Greenberg’s laboratory is focused on the emerging fi eld of sociomicrobiology. He is principally concerned with three aspects of sociomicrobiology: I. The biochemistry and molecular biology of environmental sensing and response in bacteria with a particular emphasis on a form of chemical communication between bacteria termed quorum sensing. II. The mechanisms by which bacteria switch from a nomadic existence to a sessile biofi lm lifestyle and the mechanisms underlying the ability of biofi lm bacteria to survive the action of antibiotics. III. The ways in which clonal populations of bacteria can discriminate themselves from other clonal populations. All of these phenomena are of importance in pathogenesis. Dr. Greenberg has concentrated much of his eff ort on Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogenic bacterium that can cause both acute and persistent biofi lm infections. William Hanage Dr William (Bill) Hanage (PhD) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Epidemiology, Harvard School of Public Health’s Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics in Boston, USA. He was a Postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford and Imperial College London, before being awarded a Royal Society University Research Fellowship. Prior to joining the Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics, he was a Reader in the department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology at Imperial College London. Dr. Hanage has worked extensively developing multilocus sequence typing (MLST; www.mlst.net) and analysis (MLSA) for the study of bacterial pathogens and species, as well as means of analyzing data developed using this method. He has worked on both bacterial and viral pathogens, and is particularly interested in using an evolutionary framework such as methods derived from population genetics to inform epidemiology. He has acted as an advisor to Glaxo SmithKline and the World Health Organisation. He is the winner of the 2012 Fleming Prize for research in Microbiology and the recipient of a 2012 ICAAC Young Investigator Award from the American Society for Microbiology. His work on pathogen evolution was recognized with the 2012 Fleming Prize from the Society for General Microbiology. Recently, Hanage has been among the pioneers of genomic epidemiology for bacterial pathogens. He exemplifi es the combination of theoretical and experimental skills that will be fundamental to the future of infectious disease epidemiology, describes nominator Marc Lipsitch, Harvard School of Public Health. 18th International Workshop | 3 GwangPyo Ko Dr. Ko has successfully established and conducted an internationally recognized and highly regarded academic research program in the fi eld of microbiology, metagenomics, and translational research. Dr. Ko received Ph.D. degree from Harvard University, and did post-doctoral training at
