EMBARK Final Results Webinar

We are pleased to inform you about a very special session in our webinar series. You are cordially invited to the next SEARCHER antimicrobial resistance webinar which will also be an EMBARK webinar, on Tuesday, October 15th, 2024, at 10:30 AM CEST (GMT +1). This special session will highlight key outcomes from the JPIAMR consortium EMBARK, focusing on AMR surveillance in the environment. The agenda will explore the motivations for monitoring AMR in the environment, the implementation of culture- and molecular-based approaches, and the biases and correlations between these methodologies. There will also be plenty of time to ask questions to the team, and to give input on our work. Don’t miss the opportunity to join our panel of experts and engage in discussions on AMR surveillance!

The registration link will be coming shortly, but save the date and time for now! This webinar will be followed by one more in December, highlighting recommendations from the project.

First SEARCHER Webinar

Next week is the beginning of the reboot of the EMBARK webinar series, now rebranded the SEARCHER webinars. For the first webinar, we will have Álvaro San Millan talking about the ecology and evolution of plasmid-mediated carbapenem resistance. He will be accompanied by our own Uli Klümper who will talk about the rates and rivers of plasmid transfer. Join us for this exciting webinar on April 14 at 14:30 CEST. Register here!

More on the rest of the webinar series for 2024 will be posted on this site shorty!
