What institution did Joseph Lister work at while promoting sterile surgery?

Joseph Lister is widely recognized for his pioneering work in antiseptic techniques and sterile surgery, and his influential research was conducted at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary in Scotland. During the mid-to-late 19th century, he developed his ideas about infection control based on the germ theory of disease, which was at the time a relatively new concept. At Glasgow Royal Infirmary, Lister implemented practices such as cleansing surgical instruments and using antiseptic solutions to reduce the risk of infections post-surgery, which significantly improved surgical outcomes.

While Lister's work did span other institutions and had a lasting impact on surgical practices globally, particularly influencing hospitals elsewhere such as St. Thomas' Hospital in London where he was later associated, his foundational contributions in promoting sterile surgical techniques originated during his tenure at Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
