We were proud to be well represented at the inaugural The Transplantation Society of Australia and New Zealand Infectious Disease Day on 20 June 2025 — a fantastic event co-badged with ASID Immunocompromised Host Special Interest Group.

Pleased to present our subgroup analysis @TSANZ. Would IPC specific to the SOT cohort be valuable? Which HAIs/OIs should we monitor, and how do we build a national framework for success? @ncicancer.bsky.social #TxID #IDSky

Always a pleasure to hear @aussiedocwolfe.bsky.social speak on advances in organ transplantation & thankful to chair a session on infection surveillance in transplant @TSANZ Transplant Infectious Disease day! Congrats to the committee for putting together an exciting inaugural meeting.

Happy Infectious Diseases Pharmacists Day to my colleagues, mentors, and clinician-researcher heroes #IDPharmacistsDay #SIDPAdvocacy @adphaau.bsky.social @sidpharm.bsky.social @ncicancer.bsky.social

Grateful to have received a travel stipend to spend an exciting few days at the @fredhutch.bsky.social ICH Symposium in Seattle, present & learn from experts in the field- Including @kottonnelson.bsky.social, Jay Fishman & our own @ncicancer.bsky.social @michyong.bsky.social, Monica Slavin & more..!

Day 2 of the Australasian Society for Infectious Diseases (ASID) ASM in Canberra, our incredible NCIC team proudly showcased their poster presentations. It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase their hard work and dedication to advancing the ICH space on a national stage!

Great to hear work by my friend, fellow ID physician & PhD candidate @dremmalouise.bsky.social & nursing student Jobe Bonney on tackling TB in remote communities at the ASID ASM - excited to hear how the REACT project progresses! @asidaud.bsky.social

Honoured to speak & present our @ncicancer.bsky.social work on infection prevention in cancer/transplant at the Australasian Society of ID ASM with @nikhil-singh.bsky.social @michyong.bsky.social @benwteh.bsky.social, & amazing to hear & see the incredible work done at other centres nationally 👏🏽

Great 1st day at Australasian Society for Infectious Diseases meeting! @michyong.bsky.social led an insightful CMV symposium @benwteh.bsky.social chaired the "What's New in.." session as part of ICHSIG @priyagargiddoc.bsky.social comprehensive talk on key developments and gaps in the ICHS space

Sad to have had my last ‘in-person’ day as a physician at the @petermaccc.bsky.social, Melbourne! A fantastic place to practice, be inspired in #IDOnc #TxID and surrounded by #womeninSTEM! Will continue my PhD through the @ncicancer.bsky.social though, so many more return visits to come 🙌🏽

Excited to receive some @ucla-id-fellowship.bsky.social merch in the post here in Melbourne to use on my next ward round! UCLA Transplant-ID; thank you again- a fabulous team & such great learnings/ collaborative discussions in the care of the high-risk ICH @jschaenmanmd.bsky.social #TxID #IDsky

Next draft Infection Card for Epipocalypse: Bug Detectives: Measles! Unfortunately this is a thing again. Remember the 3 C's and to keep it in your differential! #IDSky #MedSky #EpiSky any feedback or suggestions?

On #WorldCancerDay, we honor those affected by cancer and highlight the EINSTEIN project, which aims to revolutionize infection detection in immunocompromised cancer patients. EINSTEIN uses AI and medical records to detect infections early. Learn more: cancerandinfections.org/infection-su...

Really interesting paper by my colleagues at @domucla.bsky.social - and fits with my own thoughts about the utility/pitfalls of plasma mcfDNA (including low yield of fungal pickup) as well as giving some ideas for future diagnostic stewardship if incorporated into practice @jschaenmanmd.bsky.social
