Oxford Global is proud to announce the 2nd Annual Microbiology & Infectious Disease Asia Congress, held on 23rd – 24th June 2015, in Singapore. The conference is a unique platform to meet over 175 senior level attendees from world renowned academic organisations, research institutions and hospital laboratories to hear and discuss the latest developments, research results that shape the current landscape of the microbiology and infectious diseases industry.

Thanks to the increased accessibility of advanced detection and genome sequencing technologies, the Asia Pacific microbiology and infectious diseases market is experiencing a rapid growth.

On day one of the Congress our esteemed speakers will discuss different pathogen detection technologies utilising PCR, microbial identification and characterisation methods. Delegates will have the chance to hear case reports on nucleid acid diagnostics, quorum and membrane sensing.

Presentations will also cover the current landscape and future challenges of antibiotic resistance and updates in clinical diagnostics development as well as emerging technologies in clinical microbiology.

On day two our leading practitioners will discuss using next-generation technologies in microbiology, the future trends in metagenomics and bioinformatics.

Delegates will also hear up-to-date research results in infectious diseases, ranging from the latest Ebola developments through to malaria, influenza and scarlet fever.

Key topics include:
             · Novel insights into viral inflammatory disease mechanisms addressed by Suresh Mahalingam, NHMRC Senior Research Fellow, Principal Research Leader and Professor of Virology, Griffith University, Australia
             · The evolution of antibiotic resistance in Ecuador presented by Monica Cartelle Gestal, Professor and P.I., Microbiology, School of Medicine, Faculty of Public Health, Ecuador
