The importance of cross-disciplinary collaboration: an interview with Jordan Skittrall
October 12, 2023
The Microbiology Society is hosting the Federation of Infectious Science (FIS) conference in partnership with HIS and the BIA, on 14-15 November 2023 in Edinburgh and on 17 November online. FIS provides an excellent opportunity for academic, clinical and industry collaboration, to improve patient outcomes and foster innovative, cross-disciplinary research. The Microbiology Society’s Journal of Medical Microbiology encourages the publication of cross-disciplinary work in infectious diseases, including human and veterinary medical microbiology.
Ahead of this year’s conference, we spoke to Jordan Skittrall, who chaired a session at FIS in 2022, about the importance of collaboration. Jordan is a National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) clinical lecturer in virology, postdoctoral researcher, and specialty registrar in infectious diseases and medical virology at the University of Cambridge, UK. -
