This research demonstrates how combining business management and epidemiology can improve hospital infection prevention. Through behavioral interventions, organizational audits, and patient engagement, three initiatives increased hand hygiene compliance by 15%. The work highlights the importance of interdisciplinary thinking, organizational culture, and accountability in creating safer healthcare environments.

This research develops self-sterilising polymer coatings that become highly acidic when exposed to moisture, rapidly destroying harmful bacteria such as MRSA and E. coli. Designed for hospitals, classrooms, and other high-contact surfaces, these materials could reduce infections without harsh chemicals, helping prevent the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
