Infectious diseases are one of the largest threats to global public health. The focus on the threat has never been greater, with the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrating the critical need for a more proactive approach within governments, biopharma, and investment communities to overcome the pressing issues in anti-infective drug development to combat antimicrobial resistance. With some now considering the field as the new ‘Wall Street darling’, especially given the $1 billion launch of the AMR action fund, the Digital Anti-Infectives Drug…

FDA, NIAID and CDC are announcing a public workshop regarding the development considerations of antimicrobial drugs for the treatment of gonorrhea.

This meeting will be held in virtual format only. Registration is…

Speaker: Aleksandar Danilovski, Chief Scientific Officer, Xellia Pharmaceuticals (Denmark) Moderator: TBC Aleksandar's presentation will discuss: Are CMC and formulation efforts treated as the foster child in the innovation and development armament? Underestimating CMC and formulation aspects can potentially cause significant delays and project failures Appropriate (what, how and when) CMC and formulation innovation and development strategies can improve overall probability of project success, can bring competitive advantages (including IP umbrella) and can reduce time to market - Do it right…

For the past 20 years, the World Vaccine Congress Washington congress has evolved and grown into the leading vaccines congress globally, with hundreds of speakers, thousands of attendees and hundreds of networking opportunities. Our event format allows for whole-sector topics, giving an opportunity for people to find out more about their specific area of research and their job-function. By running parallel niche conference channels over the 3 days, it increases the relevance of the whole event for everyone who attends.…

Bacterial cells are exquisitely organized in time and space, and carry out complex decision-making, intercellular coordination, and development to thrive in diverse environments. The 2021 inaugural Bacterial Cell Biology and Development Gordon Research Conference will explore recent research into the organization, dynamics, and development of bacterial cells and communities using a breadth of experimental approaches and biological systems. Invited speakers will present work probing the fundamental cell biological mechanisms of growth and division, and of the specialized behaviors and developmental…

From new infectious pathogens like SARS-CoV-2, to antimicrobial resistance and the role of microbes in climate change, to agriculture and food microbiology, and synthetic and applied microbiology – international experts will gather for World Microbe Forum to examine, discuss and envision solutions that science can offer to solve some of the gravest concerns confronting us today. This unique and special event, a collaboration between the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) and the Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS), is bringing…
