Australia’s Leading Biofilms Researcher to join iClean Line Up

We are so excited to announce that Australia’s leading biofilm researcher from the Macquarie University Surgical Infection Research Group will be one of our headline speakers at this year’s iClean Conference.

Professor Vickery is the Scientific Director of the Surgical Infection Research Group, and Vice-Chancellor Innovation Fellow at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Macquarie University, Sydney Australia. For year’s she has been at the forefront of research into detecting biofilm associated with breast implant failure, as well as endoscope and environmental surface decontamination failures.

Her research aims to prevent Healthcare-Associated Infections by focusing on both surgical strategies for preventing biofilm infection of medical implants, treating biofilm infections of chronic wounds and strategies that improve instrument and environmental decontamination.

Her expertise in decontamination has led to membership of expert advisory committees for the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), GENCA and Standards Australia.

Prof. Vickery is looking forwards to challenging your thinking and getting you back to the basics of cleaning and disinfection.
