The Florey Institute of Infection takes a novel, holistic approach to accelerate research and medical practice into the diagnosis, causes, prevention and treatment of infectious diseases and Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR).
On Thursday 11th September, the Institute brought together academics, students, healthcare workers, public health experts, industry, and policy makers with an interest in collaborative infection-related research for its annual symposium.
The in-person event featured keynote speakers, panel discussions, examples of research and contributions from external collaborators and organisations, with a focus on Florey’s three core themes; Pathogen biology, antimicrobial resistance and diagnostics; Host-pathogen interactions; Epidemiology and global health.
There were prizes awarded for the best presentations and posters. Congratulations to all the winners, and a huge thank you to all who attended and networked.
The symposium was a fantastic success! Thanks to the exceptional work of the PhD student team who made it so successful. The diverse range of speakers and posters was fantastic and I received highly positive feedback from all attendees I spoke to. I'm already looking forward to next year's event!
