Earlier this month, Professor Simon Foster, Dr Rebecca Corrigan and two PhD students from the Foster Lab (Josh Sutton and Oliver Carnell) 'flew the flag' for the Florey Institute and the University of Sheffield at an MRC-KHIDI funded symposium in South Korea.
The workshop entitled “Workshop to Understand Staphylococcus aureus pathogenesis” was held to strengthen ties and build links between researchers in the UK and Korea researching Staphylococcus infections and antibiotic resistance.
The symposium was the brain child of Professor Lee Bok Luel from Pusan National University and Professor Simon Foster from University of Sheffield and was made possible through a joint Medical Research Council (MRC)/Korea Health Industry Development Institute (KHIDI) partnering award.
The symposium was a great success with many great talks on how Staphylococcal cells are able to tolerate treatments. The UK participants had a fantastic time sampling traditional Korean cuisine and touring temples after two days of excellent scientific presentations and discussions on how to increase links between the two countries.
