Brett was at the ICPIC Conference in Geneva and found plenty of interest in the Innovation academy.
- Tracing hand pathogen transmission with and without hand hygiene with a newly developed DNA-encapsulating Lipid Nanoparticle system
- Innovative FFP2 procedural mask for safer high-risk procedures
- A new medical mask made of filtering, transparent and ecofriendly material
- AI for healthcare-associated infection
Martin was on his travels as well and recorded a few discussions with poster presenters at the 2025 Infection Prevention Society conference at Brighton in the south of the UK (more in the next episode).
