COMBINE Expert Workshop on Monoclonal Antibodies for AMR Pathogens

Online

In June 2022, the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut organised a two-day virtual expert workshop on behalf of the COMBINE project. The workshop aimed to address the challenges in developing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pathogens, with a specific focus on ESCAPE pathogens (E. faecium, S. aureus, C. difficile, A. baumannii, P. aeruginosa, and Enterobacteriaceae). The workshop […]

New Perspectives on Bacterial Drug Resistance

Online

JPIAMR in partnership with the Medical Research Council (MRC UKRI) are hosting a workshop on antibiotic resistance, specifically looking for input from Early to Mid-Career Researchers. Antibiotic resistance is prevalent in bacterial infections across the world, threatening many of the fundamentals of modern medicine. A huge amount of work and funding has been focussed on […]

Vaccination as a strategy to combat Antimicrobial Resistance

Online

Vaccination programs are known to be effective to both promote the prudent use of antibiotics and to prevent the spread of AMR. JPIAMR, in partnership with the Medical Research Council and BactiVac Network, are holding a live webinar to identify opportunities and priorities for vaccine research from an immunological perspective to a wider translational context, in the field […]

Gordon Research Conference on Drug Resistance

Bryant University 1150 Douglas Pike, Smithfield, RI, United States

The prosperity of the modern world is threatened by the emergence of drug resistant pathogens, pesticide-resistant insects and herbicide-resistant weeds. Novel investigational cancer drugs increase life expectancy, but fail when resistance develops. The same principles of evolution drive the development of resistance in all of these contexts, yet each field attacks the problem of resistance […]

UNITE4TB webinar: Progress made to date in shortening TB treatment

Online

Recap of the third UNITE4TB webinar: Progress made to date in shortening TB treatment UNITE4TB held its third public webinar on Thursday 7 July, with a focus on the recent changes in the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for the treatment of Tuberculosis (TB) and an evaluation of the evidence underpinning the shortening of TB […]

COMBINE Poster Presentations at the Gordon Research Conference on Disruptive Antibiotics and Non-Antibiotic Therapies to Combat Drug-Resistant Bacterial Infections

In-person Lucca, RI, Italy

The prosperity of the modern world is threatened by the emergence of drug resistant pathogens, pesticide-resistant insects and herbicide-resistant weeds. Novel investigational cancer drugs increase life expectancy, but fail when resistance develops. The same principles of evolution drive the development of resistance in all of these contexts, yet each field attacks the problem of resistance […]
