NDI³ 2025 was wonderful!
We, the PhD students of New Developments in Immunology, Inflammation & Infection (NDI³) , would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who joined us for the 47th edition of Northern Germany Meeting on Infection, Immunology & Inflammation , held on October 8, 2025 , at the Research Center Borstel's Manor House .
Bringing together 125 researchers from across Northern Germany, this joint meeting—co-organized with the NordInfect initiative —was a vibrant exchange of ideas spanning infection biology, immunology, and inflammation research. The day featured inspiring keynote lectures from Maximiliano Gutierrez (Francis Crick Institute), Susanne Häußler (HZI), Christian Karsten (ISEF, UKSH), Silke Meiners (CAU/FZB), and Olivier Neyrolles (IPBS), as well as dynamic talks, posters, and edutainment sessions from early-career scientists representing more than ten research institutions from Northern Germany and beyond.
We are deeply grateful to all speakers , participants , and sponsors whose enthusiasm and collaboration made this event possible. Special thanks go to CSSB and FZB for their generous support.
As young scientists, organizing this meeting was a rewarding experience that reinforced the importance of community, curiosity, and collaboration in advancing infection and inflammation research. Thank you for helping make this year's NDI³ x NordInfect joint meeting a true success.

A Heartfelt Thank You from the NDI³ and NordInfect PhD Students for a successful 2025 Northern Germany Meeting on Infection, Immunology & Inflammation!
We look forward to seeing you again next year!
About NDI³ and NordInfect
NDI³ - New Developments in Immunology , Inflammation , & Infection - is an annual scientific conference established in 1980 and traditionally organized by PhD students at the Leibniz Lung Center (Research CenterBorstel). For over four decades, NDI³ has served as a vibrant platform for early career researchers to present their work, engage with leading experts, and build lasting professional networks in the fields of immunology, infectious diseases , and inflammation. In 2025 , NDI³ proudly celebrated its 47th anniversary , marking a long-standing commitment to fostering scientific exchange and interdisciplinary collaboration across Northern Germany and beyond.
NordInfect is a Northern German research initiative focused on bacterial pathogenesis. It connects scientists across institutions to advance collaborative research. The initiative regularly hosts networking events in Hamburg and Kiel to share findings and showcase new technologies for a deeper molecular understanding of bacteria.
To celebrate this year's 47th edition , NDI³ 2025 was held in joint collaboration with NordInfect , further expanding opportunities for scientific dialogue and cooperation. This special edition aimed at bringing together a diverse community of researchers to explore the latest advances in immunology, inflammation, and infection research.
