The Penta ID Network forms the foundation of our work in Penta. With the skills, experience and expertise of all our Network members, we develop and deliver world class research and training to drive understanding and good practice around the management of infections in children, young people and pregnant people.
The Penta ID Network reaches almost every corner of the world, with members spanning from Asia, Africa, the Americas and Europe, and has grown steadily since its initial set up in Europe back in 1991. Our members are clinicians, researchers and healthcare professionals, who cover a great depth and breadth of expertise in paediatric infectious diseases.
We leverage this diversity in conducting life-changing research and cutting-edge training programmes – all with the aim to improve the lives of pregnant people and children through the generation and application of new scientific knowledge.

As ambassadors and spokespersons, our members play a vital role in promoting Penta at events and speaking engagements. Please don’t hesitate to request editable versions (eg. PPT) of these resources, we’re always happy to provide them.
Arising from our key scientific priorities, our scientific working groups have been working to lead the development of new research concepts, training programmes and activities in each of these scientific areas with the goal to improve the health outcomes of children and pregnant people.
