Innovation, AMR and International Collaboration at the Forefront
Microbira was delighted to attend ESCMID Global 2025 in Vienna. An international showcase of excellence in infectious disease, microbiology, and diagnostics. The conference brought together leading scientists, clinicians, researchers, and industry innovators from across the globe to tackle some of the most pressing challenges in global health.
A Global Platform for AMR and Diagnostic Innovation
Over several packed days, attendees explored emerging technologies and strategies for managing infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Key themes included the growing role of artificial intelligence in diagnostics, global AMR surveillance, and the importance of cross-border collaboration in advancing microbiological research and public health initiatives.
Our CEO, Marianne Ismail, shared her reflections on the event:
“ESCMID 2025 was vibrant and inspiring, as well as a great opportunity to network with contacts from previous GBIPs and new contacts from India. There was lots of coverage of AMR and artificial intelligence. It is encouraging to see the growth of innovation in the AI space.”
Strengthening International Ties
Additionally, ESCMID 2025 also served as a valuable networking opportunity. From reconnecting with previous partners to initiating new conversations with potential collaborators, particularly from India and Europe. The growth of interest in AI-powered diagnostics was a strong theme throughout the event. Thus providing a validation of Microbira’s continued investment in next-generation technologies.
At Microbira, we were thrilled to engage in meaningful discussions about the MAAP-IR platform—our rapid, reagent-free microbial identification solution. Powered by FTIR spectroscopy and machine learning, it represents a significant advancement in diagnostic technology. Moreover, the conference provided an excellent opportunity to showcase how MAAP-IR is transforming microbiology workflows through speed, accuracy, and innovation.
Looking Ahead
As we look ahead, the insights and partnerships formed at ESCMID Global 2025 will play a vital role in shaping Microbira’s expansion and product development across international markets.
