On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we empower women to take on leadership roles in the field of infection, creating strong role models to inspire the next generation. Read more: https://www.escmid.org/about-us/the-society/society-news/empowering-women-in-science/ #WomenInScience

✨ The journal is delighted to introduce its new associate editor, Anne-Grete Märtson, who leads the Antiviral Pharmacology research group at Leiden University. Congratulations and welcome! We are so happy to have you on board! #IDSky #clinmicro

✨Wrapping up the 5th Annual Worldwide Precision Dosing seminar 2025 is Assistant Professor Anne-Grete Martson with her talk on 'Precision Dosing in Obesity'!✨ ‼️The seminar takes place on Thursday 7 August, so make sure to register before it's too late: bit.ly/3GtrIUb @annegretemartson.bsky.social

Interesting talk by Xuanlin Liu from the groups of @annegretemartson.bsky.social and @cvhasselt.bsky.social at the #LED3Symposium. She talked about her work on characterizing the viral load during Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections using PCR and TCID50 to build models for efficiency predictions.

A better understanding of the PK/PD relationships of antiviral agents used to treat CMV may help to define targets that improve clinical outcomes and reduce the emergence of resistance. Brilliant work by Katie Lynch, it was very nice to work together on this! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Presenting on ganci TDM, my favourite topic! Great meeting @sidpharm.bsky.social
