The Australasian Society of Infectious Diseases conference was held in Adelaide 26th to 29th March 2014.

I presented a poster entitled “Current Challenges in the Design of Effective Antifungal Surfaces” on behalf of co-authors Sarah Kidd, Stefani Griesser, David Ellis and Hans Griesser.

The aim of my conference attendance was to push the boundaries of interdisciplinary research. I think that bringing materials science research to the attention of clinicians and infectious disease researchers would provide a new perspective on the health problem of infected biomaterials.
