AMR in Focus is a new online event series. Launched as part of the Knocking Out AMR project, the series will zoom in on some key solutions to the AMR crisis.
The events alternate between educational sessions to provide key skills in engaging across sectors, and scientific sessions bringing you up to date on cutting-edge research across the Knocking Out AMR priority solution areas (diagnostics and surveillance; and therapeutics and vaccines).
This event is free and all are welcome to attend.
A recording of this event will be made available exclusively to Microbiology Society members.
