About Brisbane Transplant Infectious Diseases meeting
The organising committee are pleased to present the 3rd Brisbane Transplant Infectious Diseases meeting on Thursday 8 May 2025. This will be an interdisciplinary and collaborative meeting focused on transplant and infectious diseases care.
Bringing together local clinicians, scientists, and other healthcare professionals in the field of infectious diseases, immunology, and transplant medicine, the meeting will give individuals a forum to present their active research or clinical interests. We hope this also offers healthcare specialty groups and basic science researchers a chance to form successful research and clinical relationships.
By shining a light on the clinical challenges of transplant patients in Queensland related to infectious diseases, we work to provide a platform for cutting-edge translational research and improved patient care.
The full-day seminar series will be held at the Queensland Children's Hospital, South Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
