The Florey Institute is delighted to have been featured at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Festival of Medical Research in Sheffield. The event took place on 15th and 16th of June, in the Winter Gardens and Norfolk Heritage Park respectively. The theme of the festival was ‘Fighting the good fight: how medical research helps us combat disease', and it aimed to showcase the diversity and latest medical research at the University of Sheffield.
A team of students from the Florey Institute, led by Yin Xin Ho, Dan Bennison and Dr. Daria Shamarina introduced you to the concept of the microbiome and immune system through various activities. We demonstrated this with a display of face microbiome from different volunteers. To explain the immune system and how it helps us fight infections, we prepared microscopic slides with white blood cells such as neutrophils containing S. aureus. We also discussed about the research in the Florey Institute, and how researchers with different backgrounds such as biology and physics work together to understand and fight against infections.
