Webinar: PERFORMing Live! Sharing major results of the 5-year Horizon2020 project

4 May 2021

Originally held on 29 June 2021, in this final open-to-all webinar hosted by the PERFORM consortium, partners shared the major results from the five-year Horizon2020 project to develop easy to use, personalised tests to distinguish between bacterial and viral infections in febrile children.

 

Watch the recording from the webinar here

 

Chief Investigator, Prof. Mike Levin from Imperial College London introduced PERFORM’s consortium of researchers and paediatric doctors who presented their findings, followed by a plenary discussion for the audience to ask questions to the researchers.
