The West African Centre for Cell Biology of Infectious Pathogens (WACCBIP) will hold the seventh in the series of its annual WACCBIP Research Conference (WRC) from July 26-28, 2023. This year’s theme is “Innovative Research for Sustainable Impact.”
Still keeping with the pandemic-related developments, this year’s conference will be a hybrid event, offering more flexibility and even greater networking opportunities. This means there will still be a large in-person component in the WACCBIP Conference Hall at the University of Ghana in Accra, Ghana, plus a virtual component. With this announcement, the Management Committee of WACCBIP wishes to inform the global scientific community that registration and call for abstracts for WRC 2023 are hereby opened.

- Immune Responses and Disease Pathogenesis
- Molecular Diagnostics and Assay Development
- Drug Discovery, Mechanism and Resistance
- Host-Pathogen Interactions
- SARS-Cov-2, Emerging and Re-Emerging Pathogens
- Molecular Epidemiology for Enhanced Surveillance and Epidemic Preparedness
