Philippine Society for Microbiology, Annual Convention

41st Philippine Society for Microbiology Annual Convention in Cagayan de Oro, Mindanao, Philippines I was delighted to attend (and be a plenary speaker) at the 41st PSM Convention this year. I was warmly welcomed by all members of the Board of the PSM. I'd like to thank in particular, Jessica Simbahan, the outgoing president, Bee Basit, the incoming president, Percival Garcia and others for recognising me at NAIA (Manila airport) and subsequently looking after me. There were an illustrious group of foreign speakers including those from Japan (via Singapore), Sicily (via Japan and Denmark), the States (via Germany) and other European delegates from Hungary. We were entertained, visiting restaurants, the local university and its museum of Mindanao arts and crafts. I also met members from David Klinzing from St Luke's Medical Center, Quezon City, members from Mapua Institute for Technology. I shall be giving a talk at their Bioengineering conference on July 20th/2

It was great to be in the company of over 20 keen and enthusiastic ICT teachers and coordinators focusing on primary teaching and working for British Schools in the region (SE Asia). It was interesting to see the total dominance of Apple within the room, and the dramatic upsurge in the iPad as the primary computing tool (at least for these teachers on the go).

Though some tools for iPad management exist (including Mobile Device Management from Air-Watch ) there was a feeling (and concern) that Apple would soon enter this marketplace as they seek to make the iPad more enterprise friendly, and so purchasing a third party tool now might lead to an expensive and inappropriate lockin in just a few months.

Biosensor Programme

Loading the prototype cartridge This work was presented at the AACC Oak Ridge Conference, 2010 . The Scottish Government through ITI Techmedia funded a $15m programme (4 year programme) to develop a Biosensor prototype for the rapid (<10minutes) diagnosis of infectious diseases such as Hepatitis C from a blood sample, in the 1 viral particle per millilitre sensitivity range. Jonathan Salmon (now of Salmon Consultants Ltd) was responsible for timely deliverables, financial planning and communication and headed a team peaking at 14 biological scientists and mechanical, electrical and software engineers, with additional external optical consultants. Jonathan managed $6m of a $15m overall project, communicating with project partners, company management and funder project management over a period of four years.
