About Brisbane Transplant Infectious Diseases meeting
The organising committee were pleased to present the 2nd Brisbane Transplant Infectious Diseases meeting on Thursday 23 May 2024. This was an interdisciplinary and collaborative meeting focused on transplant and infectious diseases care.
Bringing together local clinicians, scientists, and other healthcare professionals working in the field of infectious diseases, immunology, and transplant medicine. The meeting gave individuals a stage to present their active research or clinical interests, as well as to form successful research and clinical relationships between healthcare specialty groups and basic science researchers.
By shining a light on the clinical challenges of transplant patients in Queensland related to infectious diseases, we hope to provide a platform for cutting-edge translational research and improved patient care.
The full-day seminar series was held at the Translational Research Institute, Woolloongabba, Queensland, Australia.
