Interested in Antimicrobial Resistance?
|
AIMday in Antimicrobial Resistance is taking place on 4 July at the Blavatnik School of Government. This meeting is being led by the Medical Sciences Division and co-hosted by the NIHR Community Healthcare MedTech and In Vitro Diagnostics Co-
operative (MIC). The day will be kicked off with a talk from Professor Chris Butler (MIC director) presenting on AMR, diagnostics
and community medicine.
An Academic Industry Meeting Day (AIMday) is an innovative networking event that allows external organisations to set the agenda and gain academic perspective into industry challenges. In return, academics gain insight into the needs and interests of industry and how these issues relate to their own research. The idea is simple: each AIMday has a specific theme and is centred around small group discussions based on a question posed by the external participant. This gives industry partners and researchers the assurance that the topics addressed will be of genuine interest, while also providing the opportunity to gain fresh insights, meet potential collaborators, and grow a network.
Companies and external organisations registered include:
- Summit Therapeutics (hosting a session on new treatments for Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter infections)
- metaLinear (hosting a session on best ways to get proteins into bacteria)
- Innovate UK (hosting a session on funding gaps)
- Academic Health Science Network for the North East and North Cumbria (hosting a session on the barriers to adoption of point of care tests)
- And more to be confirmed...
The closing date for company registrations is
Friday April 26th.
