Eurolife Summer School 2017
Eurolife Summer School: Antimicrobial drug resistanceResearch and Innovation 10-14 July 2017
This international Summer School focuses on the current challenges of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) with a major emphasis on the molecular bases of antimicrobial resistance, antimicrobial stewardship, rapid diagnostic tools, research for the development of new tools (new antibiotics, vaccines, etc.), innovation and policies and strategic interventions to tackle antimicrobial resistance.
At the end of this course students should be able to have a good understanding of: • The major problems associated with AMR • The current and future tools to detect antimicrobial resistance both in clinical and research settings • The different specific and integrative measures available to control the emergence and dissemination of MDR/XDR bacteria • The tools available for recognising, analysing and solving research questions concerning the detection of antimicrobial resistance and the design of potential new antibacterial drugs • The new strategies to discover and develop new antibacterial drugs • How to potentiate the relationship between academia and industry in order to increase the collaboration
