Professor Karen Vickery, a distinguished healthcare researcher, will speak at the iClean Conference:

A/Professor Vickery is Honorary Scientific Director of the Surgical Infection Research Group, at the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Human Sciences, Macquarie University, Sydney Australia.  

A/Professor Vickery has been at the forefront of research into detecting biofilm associated with breast implant failure, and endoscope and environmental surfaces 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's session at the iClean Conference will offer valuable insights into healthcare epidemiology, particularly in surgical infection prevention and management​.
