SUMMARY:Antimicrobial Resistance Fighter Coalition Webinar: Aiming in the dark: what happens when disease spreads without diagnosis
DESCRIPTION:Panelists include Erin Duffy\, CARB-X Chief of R&D \nAMR in the Light of COVID-19 – A Webinar Series\nEach of us is now living in a world with a nearly untreatable virus – but COVID-19 is not the only threat that we are facing. Many bacterial and fungal infections that were previously considered treatable are no longer responding to the drugs designed to kill them. COVID-19 foreshadows a grim future if we do not mobilize a global response to the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Through a four-part series\, global experts will discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic could reshape strategies for combating antimicrobial resistance around the world. \nAbout this Webinar:\nThe pandemic has demonstrated the critical role of diagnostic testing to steer our public health response. It has been shown that diagnostic testing for bacterial and fungal infections results in improved use of antibiotics and antibiotic stewardship. But whereas testing for COVID-19 has benefited from innovation and rapid uptake\, testing for drug resistant infections remains underutilized. How can we improve the effective use of diagnostics\, globally\, for the diagnosis of bacterial and viral infections? \nTo learn more about the Antimicrobial Resistance Fighter Coalition\, click here.\nTo learn more about this webinar series\, click here.\nTo register for this webinar\, click here.

SUMMARY:World Antimicrobial Awareness Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:The theme for World Antimicrobial Awareness Week 2020 for the human health sector is “United to preserve antimicrobials.” \nEvery year\, World Antimicrobial Awareness Week aims to increase awareness of global antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and to encourage best practices among the general public\, health workers and policy makers to stop the further emergence and spread of drug-resistant infections. \nWAAW has expanded its scope to address not just antibiotics\, but all antimicrobials\, including antiviral\, antifungal and antiparasitic medicines. This exciting decision came on the strong recommendation of the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) community. In the midst of a global pandemic\, stakeholders came together virtually to discuss the challenges and opportunities for the WAAW campaign and awareness of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) more generally. The overarching message was that all sectors needed to unite to change behaviours and that the campaign needed to broaden its scope from antibiotics\, to include all antimicrobials. \nFor the first time ever\, we are also celebrating WAAW at a time when traditional methods of campaigning are not possible. We are challenged by new rules of social distancing\, limitations on public gatherings\, and physical isolation. As with the global virtual consultation in May 2020\, however\, the AMR community has shown its commitment\, resilience and eagerness to celebrate\, unite\, and build awareness around an issue that is becoming one of the most significant challenges to our global health and development objectives. Over the 7 days of WAAW 2020\, events will be held virtually in all regions of the world\, by governments\, academics\, students\, health care workers\, NGOs and all those interested and passionate about combating AMR. \nTo learn more\, click here.

SUMMARY:Wellcome Trust Webinar: The Global Response to drug-resistant infections - momentum\, success and critical gaps
DESCRIPTION:Over the last year\, Wellcome has mapped the global response to AMR to identify progress made since the UN High-Level Meeting on AMR held in 2016.  The analysis captures the views of over 150 experts and reviewed more than 250 documents and aims to bring all this together in a critical path for what the global response to AMR could look like now\, and beyond 2030. \nRecognizing the impact of Covid-19\, the work was expanded to understand if the pandemic has changed how we position efforts to address AMR. The work has been critical in informing Wellcome’s strategic approach toward ending drug-resistant infections and we hope it will benefit other stakeholders by helping to inform where urgent focus is needed. \nJoin us for the launch of this important piece of work\, reflect on what it means to you and your work and hear the reactions of others. \nYou can download the full report here.  \nTo learn more\, click here.\nTo view the agenda\, click here.\nTo register\, click here. \n  \nThe meeting will start at 3PM GMT / 10AM EST

SUMMARY:Antimicrobial Resistance Fighter Coalition Webinar: Responding to difficult-to-treat infections: Role and responsibilities of governments\, researchers\, clinicians\, industry and patients
DESCRIPTION:AMR in the Light of COVID-19 – A Webinar Series\nEach of us is now living in a world with a nearly untreatable virus – but COVID-19 is not the only threat that we are facing. Many bacterial and fungal infections that were previously considered treatable are no longer responding to the drugs designed to kill them. COVID-19 foreshadows a grim future if we do not mobilize a global response to the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Through a four-part series\, global experts will discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic could reshape strategies for combating antimicrobial resistance around the world. \nAbout this Webinar:\nGovernments\, researchers\, and industry partners around the world have mobilized to develop diagnostics\, therapeutics\, and vaccines for COVID-19. The development of new recommendations and practices continue to be deployed to slow the spread of COVID-19. The burden of drug-resistant infections could surpass COVID-19. Drugs like antibiotics are a vital tool for modern medicine\, used to prevent and treat infections. As drug-resistant infections are becoming more common\, modern medicine as we know it is at risk and much like COVID-19\, it has the potential to overwhelm our healthcare structure. What changes are needed to reshape strategies for combatting antimicrobial resistance globally? \nTo learn more about the Antimicrobial Resistance Fighter Coalition\, click here.\nTo learn more about this webinar series\, click here.\nTo register for this webinar\, click here.

SUMMARY:Global AMR Hub Virtual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Translating AMR R&D mapping into policy and action.\nThe Global AMR R&D Hub\, through its Dynamic Dashboard\, is the global knowledge centre for AMR R&D. The Dynamic Dashboard captures and presents: AMR R&D investments from across the globe and One Health sectors; what new antibacterials are in the pipeline; and what is being done to overcome the challenges hindering the development of\, and access to and stewardship of\, priority antibacterials. The important next step for the Global AMR R&D Hub is to take the repository of information\, that is the Dynamic Dashboard\, and translate this into policy and action. \nThis virtual conference is the start of this next important step for the Global AMR R&D Hub. The virtual conference begins discussions to inform how the Global AMR R&D Hub\, using its Dynamic Dashboard\, can support the AMR R&D needs in the different regions and countries\, by highlighting gaps that need to be filled and helping to identify collaboration or partnership opportunities. The three sessions of the conference focus on three different areas to do this: \nCARB-X participants include Kevin Outterson\, Executive Director\, and Erin Duffy\, Chief of Research & Development. \nClick here to learn more.

SUMMARY:Infectious Diseases Virtual Partnering
DESCRIPTION:Infectious diseases have always impacted human history\, but in the past 50 years we have managed to control or eliminate some infectious diseases through improved hygiene\, vaccination\, antimicrobials\, advances in medicine and public health policies. However\, the current pandemic is a reminder that we need to continue to pursue our efforts to control these pathogens\, especially with intercontinental travel and increased mobility of people and animals. \nTo manage infectious diseases\, we use tools such as vaccines\, antibiotics\, antivirals\, diagnostic tools and biomarkers. But today there are many infectious diseases for which we do not have satisfactory preventive tools or treatment options\, such as SARS-CoV-2\, Zika virus\, Ebola virus\, multidrug resistant bacteria\, HIV\, Malaria. To develop these future tools\, collaboration is essential\, either for sourcing assets in the vaccine\, antiviral or antibiotic space\, or for finding research tools to help in screening\, in-vivo modelling\, clinical trials and diagnostics and biomarkers. \nIt is in this context that we are organising the Infectious Diseases Virtual Partnering event\, focusing on diseases caused by organisms such as bacteria\, viruses\, fungi\, or parasites. With current travel restrictions\, this virtual event will help you to find the right business partner to pursue your objectives.  This event will leverage Inova and Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO)’s biopharma industry expertise\, leading digital networking platform and years of experience organizing partnering events to connect scientific and business communities for the benefit of patients worldwide. \nClick here to learn more.\nClick here to view the agenda.\nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Evidence to Action Webinar: Advancing the Antimicrobial Resistance agenda during a pandemic
DESCRIPTION:How can efforts to implement Antimicrobial Resistance National Action Plans still progress despite the COVID-19 pandemic? \nThere is no doubt COVID-19 currently represents the most obvious and urgent issue for global health security and the world is rightfully focused on tackling this pandemic. However\, the challenges posed by COVID-19 are only a foretaste of what antimicrobial resistance (AMR) can mean to the world without appropriate interventions. AMR\, the silent pandemic\, can impact many of the global health achievements of past decades and jeopardize efforts to deliver on many of the Sustainable Development Goals. \nThis webinar provides an opportunity to gain insights into current efforts to continuously move forward the agenda of combatting AMR amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Key experts and opinion leaders will share their strategic reflections and insights focusing on what evidence and data are currently available and how best to leverage them into action to tackle AMR\, especially in low- and middle-income countries. \nThis event is co-hosted by the International Vaccine Institute (IVI)\, the International Centre for Antimicrobial Resistance Solutions (ICARS) and the Embassy of Denmark in Korea. Speakers from IVI\, ICARS\, WHO and the UK will lead the panel discussion. Please join the conversation and ask questions to our panel. \nTo learn more\, click here. \nTo register\, click here.\nPlease note that registration is required\, and a link to webinar will be shared in advance to registered attendees \nDecember 3\, 2020\n9:00-10:30 AM (CET); 5:00-6:30 PM (KST); 3:00-4:30 AM (EST)

SUMMARY:Milken Institute Future of Health Summit
DESCRIPTION:The Milken Institute Future of Health Summit convenes the best minds in the world to confront the most significant health challenges by matching human\, financial\, scientific\, and educational resources with innovative and impactful ideas. The Summit will focus on the converging crises of public health\, economic insecurity\, and social injustice. COVID-19 has exposed weaknesses across our health systems\, particularly in the treatment of our most vulnerable communities\, where access to affordable and quality health care has never been more vital. \nParticipants include Kevin Outterson\, Executive Director of CARB-X\, who will be moderating a session entitled “Are Resistant Infections the Next Pandemic? New Antibiotics Need New Incentives” on Tuesday\, December 8th from 12:00pm – 1:00pm EST. \nAre Resistant Infections the Next Pandemic? New Antibiotics Need New Incentives: Antibiotic treatment in COVID-19 patients is driving antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as secondary infections emerge. While large pharmaceutical companies have retreated from antibiotic development\, smaller enterprises have compensated with innovative therapies to ensure an arsenal of anti-infective drugs. But numerous recent bankruptcies show that times are tough even for companies with newly approved antibiotics. Several large pharmaceutical companies recently joined in launching the billion-dollar Antimicrobial Action Fund for antibiotic development. This welcome investment buys time to right the market\, but it is clear that a pull incentive is needed to drive the market. What are the lessons to learn from the UK NHS NICE subscription-model pilot? Is a pull incentive enough to attract private investment to antimicrobials? How can we develop a sustainable market for antibiotics so that drug-resistant infections do not become the next pandemic? \nSpeakers Include: \n\nMichael Boyle\nPresident and CEO\, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation\nNick Crabb\nProgramme Director\, Scientific Affairs\, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)\nSally Davies\nUK Special Envoy on Antimicrobial Resistance\, UK Government\nOdysseas Kostas\nPartner and Senior Managing Director\, Sarissa Capital\n\nTo learn more\, click here.\nTo view the program\, click here.

SUMMARY:Live Webinar: GARDP/REVIVE – Manipulating the host response to treat infections
DESCRIPTION:Immune modulation and host directed therapies as an adjunctive approach to treating infections (R.E.W. (Bob) Hancock):  \n\nHost defence peptides (HDP; often termed antimicrobial peptides) stimulate protective immunity while suppressing potentially harmful inflammation. Both of these activities can assist in anti-infective therapy.\nHDPs work as immune modulators in animal models against ESKAPE pathogen\, MDR TB\, fungal\, malaria and viral infections\, as well as sterile inflammation. They are likely to be employed in adjunctive therapy in combination with antibiotics.\nHDPs often have additional value-added activities including action against bacterial biofilms in animal models. This allows them to be utilized to address situations where antibiotics commonly fail.\nAlternative host-directed therapies can be defined for recalcitrant infections using stem cell mutagenesis and systems biology approaches.\n\nRegulation and reprogramming of the innate immune system as alternative to antibiotics (Henk P. Haagsman):  \n\nHost defence peptides (HDP) are immunomodulatory antimicrobials. – Cathelicidin-derived peptides may serve as paradigms to develop anti-inflammatory anti-infectives.\nCathelicidin-derived peptides may be used prophylactically as immunomodulators and adjuvants in veterinary medicine.\nHost-directed therapy may include innate immune training by epigenetic reprogramming. The presentations will be followed by a Q&A session.\n\nSpeakers: R.E.W. (Bob) Hancock\, University of British Columbia (Canada); Henk P. Haagsman\, Utrecht University (Netherlands) \nModerator: Neeloffer Mookherjee\, Departments of Internal Medicine and Immunology\, University of Manitoba (Canada) \nClick here to learn more and register.

SUMMARY:Keystone Symposia: Harnessing the Microbiome for Disease Prevention and Therapy
DESCRIPTION:Joint meeting with: The Microbiome: From Mother to Child\nJanuary 18-20\, 2021 | 10:00AM EST | 3:00PM UTC | 4:00PM CET* \nOur understanding of the microbiome is advancing rapidly\, and continues to productively move through the discovery phase\, with numerous correlations being established between specific commensal microbes or microbiota compositions and a wide range of diseases that includes infections\, inflammatory conditions\, metabolic disease\, autoimmunity and neurologic syndromes. The initial discovery of these potentially important correlations has led many laboratories around the world to probe the molecular mechanisms that form the causal link between specific commensal microbes and disease development\, progression and resolution. Although there have been great advances\, culturing many of the prevalent and metabolically active obligate anaerobic commensals remains a challenge. Exciting advances\, however\, are emerging from laboratories developing tools to genetically manipulate key commensal organisms\, facilitating experimental studies that are identifying the small\, bioactive molecules they produce\, some of which have therapeutic potential. Studies of the impact of bacteriophage on the microbiota also suggest that they may have therapeutic potential. This Keystone conference will focus on recent advances that demonstrate\, at the cellular and molecular level\, the impact of the microbiota and its products on disease susceptibility/resistance\, with an emphasis on microbial and host metabolism\, inter-microbial interactions and the amelioration of diseases. \nClick here to learn more.\nClick here to view the agenda.\nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) ENABLE Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health threat. Infections caused by resistant bacteria are increasing and causing Europe to face soaring costs both in terms of lives and public health expenditure. Despite the strong need for new antimicrobials\, very few new\, effective antibiotics have been brought to the market in the last decades. The ENABLE project\, within IMI’s New Drugs for Bad Bugs (ND4BB) programme\, is working to advance the development of potential antibiotics against Gram-negative bacteria\, such as Escherichia coli. The ultimate goal of the project is to develop attractive antimicrobial candidates for testing in the clinic\, bringing the possibility of new antibiotics to treat Gram-negative infections one step closer to patients. \nCARB-X participants include Erin Duffy\, Chief of R&D.  \nClick here to learn more.

SUMMARY:BARDA AMR Vaccine Public Workshop: Vaccines against AMR Threats
DESCRIPTION:Multi-drug resistant (MDR) organisms are a threat to national security and public health. As rates of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in pathogens continue to increase new therapeutics and vaccines are essential to combat the growing crisis.  Every year\, 2.8 million American develop a drug resistant infection and 35\,000 people die. Globally\, MDR infections kill 700\,000 each year – current estimates are that MDR organisms will kill more than 10 million a year by 2050 if left unchecked. \nBARDA supports development and procurement of medical countermeasures to protect Americans against chemical\, biological\, radiological\, and nuclear (CBRN) threats. MDR does not discriminate\, and victims of CBRN events are at risk of suffering fatal complications from drug resistant infections. One of BARDA’s top priorities is to develop a vaccine to protect people from these threats. \nHelp BARDA fight AMR! Join the workshop to learn more about BARDA\, our mission\, and how we plan to tackle this growing threat. The event will consist of presentations from BARDA experts\, followed by a structured discussion\, and Q&A. Companies and others interested in working with BARDA are encouraged to attend the March 12\, 2021 workshop. The event is open to the public\, but space is limited. Be sure to register by March 5\, 2021. Please\, no more than four people from one organization. Are you a product developer working on a vaccine against one of the four targeted pathogens? Then we want to talk with you! Be sure to request a private meeting when you register for the workshop. \nCARB-X participants include Kevin Outterson\, Executive Director. \nClick here to learn more.\nClick here to register.
