The Microbiology Society is delighted to announce that five early career researchers who presented at the Infection Forum at Annual Conference Online 2021 have been awarded an Infection Science Award.
The winners of the award, who will present during the Infectious Disease Future’s session at FIS 2021, and be invited to submit a publication to Access Microbiology are:
- Srishti Baid, Identification of a novel putative transcription factor in Chlamydia trachomatis
- Alyson Hockenberry, Microbiota-derived metabolites inhibit Salmonella virulent subpopulation development by acting on single-cell behaviors
- Brenda Morris, Klebsiella-macrophage arms-race: dissecting how the pathogen copes with a macrophage lifestyle
- Ann-Kathrin Reuschl, HIV-1 Vpr drives a tissue residency-like phenotype during selective infection of resting memory T cells
- Johannes Westman, Lysosome Fusion Maintains Phagosome Integrity during Fungal Infection
The Microbiology Society Infection Science Award is an exchange scheme which facilitates the most promising presenters from the Infectious Disease Futures session at the Federation of Infection Society (FIS) meeting to present at the Microbiology Society Annual Conference Infection Forum and vice versa. The scheme aims to support the exchange of ideas and the career development of selected early career and trainee researchers, helping to translate microbiological research to the clinic.
FIS 2021 will take place on Friday 5 November at Manchester Central, UK and Monday 8 –Tuesday 9 November, online. The abstract deadline is 27 August 2021. To find out more and submit your abstract please visit the conference page.
