Howard Florey Oration & Dinner

The Howard Florey Oration is delivered each year during the Society’s Annual Scientific Meeting and presented by a Scientist who has made a significant contribution to a greater understanding of antimicrobials and their appropriate use. 

The Australian Society for Antimicrobials would like to thank The Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health, University of Melbourne, for allowing the Society to use the Howard Florey name for what we believe will become one of the prestigious scientific presentations on the Australian scientific meeting calendar.

For more information on the Oration's namesake, Howard Florey, and a list of previous speakers please visit the ASA website.
