This event will provide a unique opportunity to participate in high-level discussions and exclusive networking opportunities with renowned researchers working in microbiology and infectious diseases, and will provide vital insights for pioneering scientists involved in the detection, control and eradication of infectious diseases.

The first round of Hot Topics for Oxford Global’s inaugural Microbiology & Infectious Diseases Congress include:

• Disentangling and Enriching Illumina Derived Viral Sequences From Host for the Accelerated Identification of Novel Pathogens
• Jonathan Luke Heeney, Professor of Comparative Pathology, Head, Lab of Viral Zoonotics, University of Cambridge
• Advances in Proteomics as a Tool for Infectious Disease Pathogens Haroun Shah, Professor, Public Health England
• Phenotypic Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing In Need Of Globally Accepted Breakpoints
• Gunnar Kahlmeter, Professor, Head of Clinical Microbiology, Central Hospital, Va?xjo?, Sweden; President of ESCMID and member of the EUCAST Steering Committee
• Quorum Sensing as a Target For Antimicrobial Therapy
  Paul Williams, Professor of Molecular Microbiology, University of Nottingham
• Validation and Clinical Utility of Deep Sequencing for Infectious Disease Diagnostics
• Steve Miller, Associate Professor & Director, Department of Laboratory Medicine, University of California San Francisco

Our speaker programmes are carefully researched to ensure that delegates are exposed to the highest level of expertise. Speakers for the Microbiology & Infectious Diseases Congress so far include:

•  Mike Barer - Director of Research, College of Medicine, Professor of Clinical Microbiology, University of Leicester
