We are LIVE on the third and final day of the 125th Anniversary Scientific Symposium. The morning session focuses on health policy challenges and maternal and child health. Watch along via our livestream #125Symposium. youtube.com/watch?v=uJEv6N…

That's a wrap on our 125th Anniversary Scientific Symposium! We've had an amazing three-days filled with invigorating discussions and presentations on the future of global health. Here is a short video from the first day. #125Symposium

We can’t wait to welcome our Class of 2024 to the stunning St George's Hall today, to celebrate their achievements and hard work. If you’re unable to join us in person today, you can watch our livestream online from 11am at buff.ly/49qVbrK #LSTMGraduation2024

Rapid diagnostic tests for global viral threats, repurposing antibiotics to tackle NTDs and a potential solution to the limitations of cold storage for medical samples in LMICs will be developed through a £2.7m LSTM iiCON: Infection Innovation Consortium @LifeArc1 partnership. buff.ly/3ZYkeQ3

In November we hosted our 125th Anniversary Scientific Symposium, bringing together leading experts to tackle some of the most pressing global health issues of our time, from climate change to health system resilience. Our short video shows some of the highlights.
