Drs. Matt Gray and Deb Miller combined forces with Ghent University in Belgium to co-host the second Global Amphibian and Reptile Disease (GARD) Conference in Kuching, Malaysia in August 2024.

The conference brought together more than 120 scientists and students from over 25 countries to discuss emerging infectious diseases in reptiles and amphibians. Travel for 25 students and early career professionals was made possible from funding provided by UT AgResearch and five other organizations.

Recordings of presentations can be viewed on the GARD conference website.

Gray and Miller have been conducting herpetofaunal disease research as a team for more than 20 years and are currently supported by two National Science Foundation Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases grants.
