Co-organised by Filipa Godoy-Vitorino, AMI Global Ambassador for the Americas (Caribbean Region), the Ashford Memorial Lecture 2023 celebrated the legacy of Dr. Bailey Kelly Ashford, one of the founding fathers of the University of Puerto Rico School of Medicine and a distinguished medical doctor who changed the infectious disease landscape of Puerto Rico in the early 20th century.

His memory is honoured each year with the Ashford commemorative lecture series, for which Dr Martin Blaser was invited as Speaker in March 2023.
