Poster prizes

The poster sessions at our symposia are always very vibrant and are a great opportunity to present and discuss your work with a very friendly audience. There will be two prizes of £100 for the best posters presented by a PhD student and a postdoc, so please bring your poster along!

Ker Memorial Prize and Lecture

To round off proceedings we will present the Ker Memorial Prize to the students submitting the best PhD these in infectious disease in 2017, and the Ker Memorial Lecture will be given by Professor Mike Ferguson from the University of Dundee.
