Last Webinar for the Spring
Today, the last EMBARK webinar for the spring will take place, at 13:00 CEST (11:00 UTC). Today’s invited speaker is Kimberly Kline who will give a talk entitled “Pathogenesis and persistence during Enterococcus faecalis biofilm-associated infection”.
She will be followed by our EMBARK speaker Sofia Forslund, who will give a talk on “High-throughput measurement of host and microbiota”
Note that this webinar does take place at another time than the previous webinars!
EMBARK Webinars on Youtube
The first two spring webinars have now been posted on the new EMBARK YouTube channel! Tune in to watch Gerry Wright talk about approaches to measure and monitor AMR in various environments, and Heike Schmitt preset the international efforts for one-health surveillance of AMR within WHO Tricycle.
The remaining two EMBARK Webinars from the spring will also be posted online later this summer.
