The global Penta ID Network started in Europe and has been growing steadily in Asia, Africa and the Americas. Our members are healthcare professionals, researchers and scientists who cover a depth and breadth of expertise and specialties and share a common vision to improve paediatric infectious disease.
We leverage this diversity to develop and deliver world class clinical research, education and training programmes and infrastructure development initiatives in the area of paediatric infectious disease, all with the aim of improving the lives of women and children through generation and application of scientific knowledge.
Within our network are seven working groups consisting of experts in basic science, bloodborne viruses, clinical pharmacology, fungal infections, infection in pregnancy and vertical transmission, severe bacterial infections and anti-microbial resistance and training and education. Although each working group has its own objectives, the over-arching goal amongst them is improving the health outcomes of children and pregnant women. Find out more about our working groups here.
