About this event

As always will celebrate some of the best infectious disease research from across Edinburgh.

Due to the current pandemic, this event will be held online, but we hope that you will join us and keep connected with others across the Edinburgh Infectious Diseases community.

Ker Memorial Lecture and Prize

We are very pleased that the Ker Memorial Lecture will be given by Prof Stewart Cole, the President of the Institut Pasteur.

About the speaker

Stewart studied microbiology at the University of Wales in Cardiff prior to earning his PhD in molecular genetics from the University of Sheffield in 1979. Subsequently, he embarked on a career as a research scientist at the University of Umeå (Sweden) and the Max-Planck-Institut in Tübingen (Germany).

In 1983 he joined the Institut Pasteur (Paris, France), where he rose to be the Scientific Director. In 2007, he moved to the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne where he led a world-class research unit dedicated to TB drug discovery, and served as the Director of the Global Health Institute.

In 2018, Stewart rejoined the Institut Pasteur as its President.

And as is customary we will also hear from the winner of the Ker Memorial Prize (TBC), awarded for the best PhD thesis submitted in 2020.
