Global science and perspectives on infection prevention – for practitioners, researchers and the public.
Michael Diamond is the co-founder of The Infection Prevention Strategy (TIPS), a not-for-profit that has contributed millions in scientific impact since 2015. Michael is devoted to advancing information and science to address the myriad issues relating to infection prevention and global health.
Mr. Diamond is driven by the firm belief that we should not have to wait years for promising technology, ideas and processes to be implemented and accepted. Michael has created a model of information sharing that makes the process of vetting new technologies, implementing successful programs and inspiring innovation, more efficient, more accessible, more global and more collaborative.
Michael’s most notable achievement to date is the TIPS Journal (InfectionControl.tips), an open-access, worldwide collective that extends globally and touches locally. Michael leads teams around the world to develop trials and pilot studies to aid in the discovery of successful research-to-market technological advancements. His global team includes engagers and implementers. TIPS now reaches more than 30 countries, and its motto is: Join. Contribute. Make A Difference.
