A message from the Kirby Institute
Thank you to everyone who joined us in person, and through the livestream,
for the events honouring Professor David Cooper AC.
We were overwhelmed by the turnout to both the memorial and the symposium by people from all facets of David’s life, and have been touched by the many positive comments from attendees. The memorial was an opportunity to reflect on David’s incredible life, and the symposium carved out a clear research agenda to take David’s vision into the future, as we work towards equal global access to preventions and treatments for infectious diseases. Though an emotional experience, we were so pleased with the outcome of these tribute events.
For those who would like to relive the moments or those who could not attend, you can find recordings and photos below.

Recordings of the symposium will be uploaded to the Kirby Institute website soon. Follow the Kirby Institute on Facebook and Twitter or check their website in the coming days for the videos.
To carry forward David’s legacy and vision for future infectious disease research, the David Cooper Memorial Fund has been established. Infectious diseases disproportionately affect the world’s most disadvantaged communities, and David firmly advocated health as a fundamental human right in all of his endeavours. Your donation to this fund will support the research pursuits closest to David’s heart: expanding access to effective infectious disease prevention and treatment.
