It is with pride and excitement that I invite you to join us as a Partner for the 22nd International Workshop on Campylobacter, Helicobacter, and Related Organisms (CHRO 24), set to unfold in Perth, Western Australia, from 7 to 9 October 2024.
It has been 40 years since Professor Robin Warren and I published our first paper on the discovery of Helicobacter pylori, a milestone that ultimately led to being awarded the Nobel Prize in 2005.
I extend this invitation, not just as a researcher in the field but also as someone who deeply values the collaborative spirit of international conferences such as this one. CHRO 2024 is not merely a forum for exchanging scientific findings; it’s a testament to our collective vision. Our central message revolves around uniting minds, cultures, and talents. In this diverse global milieu, we envisage a brighter, inclusive future, driven by international collaboration.
As we commemorate this landmark anniversary, CHRO 24 aims to continue offering an indispensable platform for medical professionals. It stands out for its focused approach on bacterial pathogens that have a significant impact on public health worldwide.
Join Us in a Historic Celebration
Your participation in CHRO 24 is not merely about Partnership; it is about being part of a historic moment and contributing to the ongoing journey of medical discovery. We believe your support will be instrumental in making CHRO 24 a landmark event, celebrating both our past achievements and future endeavours.
I look forward to welcoming you to CHRO 24 and joining the collaborative journey of progress and innovation in medical research.

An Overview
The 22nd International Workshop on Campylobacter, Helicobacter and Related Organisms, (CHRO 24) will take place in the beautiful City of Perth Western Australia from 7-9 October 2024.
CHRO 24 holds special significance as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of a pivotal moment in medical history. It was four decades ago that Prof Barry Marshall, as a young researcher, presented his first publication on Helicobacter pylori (Prof Robin Warren and Prof Barry Marshall Lancet Letters 1983). This journey, which continued with a full paper, culminated in being Prof Marshal and Prof Warren being jointly honoured with a Nobel Prize and an initiative that set a new course in medical science.
Among the plethora of other medical workshops, congresses and conferences, CHRO holds a unique place of focus: CHRO 2024 is designed to foster new, collaborative, multi-disciplinary interactions, and address pressing issues and solutions surrounding CHRO, and related organisms in the Era of Meta-omics.
