AMR: Science, Society, Commercialization and Policy
2022-10-12 08:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York)
The solution to the AMR problem lies as much with disciplines outside of biomedicine as within it. Thus, a major goal of the AMR Task Force is to engage and connect those working outside the biomedical sciences, with those working within it. With strong Business and Engineering schools, thriving Social Science and Humanities Faculties, and renowned Science and Health Science Faculties, we are eager to build on McMaster’s strong history of interdisciplinary collaboration, and catalyze university-wide AMR research under the auspices of Global Nexus.
This one-day symposium aims to promote action within the McMaster community around themes including scientific, economic and societal issues related to AMR. The day will include a morning symposium where internationally acclaimed thought leaders will speak broadly to these themes, followed by afternoon workshops focused on brainstorming opportunities and hurdles associated with addressing key issues, and ideas for future conversations and collaborations.
Speakers include Ayush Kumar, a professor of microbiology at the University of Manitoba; Christine Årdal, a senior advisor at the Institute of Public Health in Norway; Kevin Outterson, a professor of law at Boston University and the executive director of CARB-X; and Muhammad H. Zaman, a professor of biomedical engineering at Boston University.

The Broken Pipeline of Antibiotics and Ongoing Efforts to Fix It
2022-10-10 19:00 - 20:30 (Africa/Nairobi)
This webinar has been prepared in collaboration with CARB-X, a global non-profit partnership accelerating antibacterial products to address drug-resistant bacteria, a leading cause of death around the world.
The webinar is part of the AMR Ambassadors Program open webinars and aims at educating us about the complex process behind antibiotic/diagnostics research, development and approval, challenges associated with it, and the negative implications. This will help us value the antibiotics already approved for use, and hopefully encourage us to educate others to appreciate these antibiotics, and actively take part in their conversation.
We will be inspired to support ongoing efforts, develop creative interventions in our own small ways, and hopefully trigger the interest of tertiary level students and early career professionals to pursue a further education or a career in drug discovery, and development.
Dr. Erin Duffy will be the keynote speaker for this webinar.

Global Vaccine and Immunization Research Forum
2022-06-23 09:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | VIRTUAL EVENT
Topic:
Vaccines as Tools to Prevent Antimicrobial Resistance: Advances, Challenges and Future Development
Purpose:
Antimicrobial resistance caused 4.95 million deaths associated with AMR and 1.27 million deaths attributable to AMR in 2019. Vaccines can prevent a proportion of the AMR burden by preventing drug-sensitive and drug-resistant infections, reducing antibiotic use and reducing pathogen transmission and chances of developing resistance genes. Increasing evidence from observational and modelling studies show the impact of vaccines on AMR.
However, this evidence is yet to translate to policy and decision making about which vaccines to develop and introduce, so they effectively prevent AMR. This webinar will explore the mechanisms, evidence and value of vaccines in preventing AMR. A panel of experts will discuss the challenges to ensure that vaccines to prevent AMR are developed and widely used.
Registration:
https://who.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Iudu_2LtRIqv6hA6IkCkBQ
Audience
Scientists, product developers, regulators, policy makers, implementers and funders interested in the role of vaccines in preventing AMR.
Topics

The threat of AMR and ways through which vaccines can prevent it;
Assessment of the value of vaccines in preventing AMR;
Research priorities on vaccines and AMR;
Development pipeline for vaccines against AMR priority pathogens;
The role of vaccines in National Action Plans on AMR;
Stories from the field: how vaccines were used in Zimbabwe to prevent AMR;
Challenges and opportunities to ensure that vaccines against AMR are developed and used.
