Live Webinar: GARDP/REVIVE – Converting Gram-positive-only compounds into broad-spectrum antibiotics
Webinar 765 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA, United StatesThis webinar by Paul Hergenrother (Department of Chemistry and the Institute for Genomic Biology University of Illinois, US) will detail his research group's efforts to understand compound accumulation in the Gram-negative ESKAPE pathogens. Emphasis will be placed on the practicality, actionability, and translatability of this information, specifically, the use of accumulation rules to convert high-value […]
Live Webcast: Drug-Resistant Infections: Confronting an Escalating Crisis
Webinar 765 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA, United StatesDespite drug resistance growing, the development of new antibiotics has slowed. How can policymakers help accelerate the pace of new drug development, and how can all of us—doctors, hospitals, and patients, as well as the agricultural sector—be better stewards of existing drugs? Forum panelists will examine the scope of this looming crisis and look at how changes in policy and practice can help us stay one step ahead of these superbugs.

Live Webinar: GARDP/REVIVE – Models for antimicrobial R&D: Computational modelling for population PK and PKPD
Webinar 765 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA, United StatesThe overall goal of this series of webinars is to provide, for the non-clinical developer, an understanding of the risks of development for various kinds of antibacterial products. In this webinar, Lena Friberg and Elisabet Nielsen (Department of Pharmaceutical Biosciences, Uppsala University, Sweden), will discuss: Population PK modelling to characterize drug exposure and variability PKPD-modelling […]
GARDP Mining Chemical Libraries for New Antibacterials
Webinar 765 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA, United StatesDespite the promise of target-based drug discovery ushered in by the genomics era, no mechanistically novel rationally designed antibiotic has reached clinically utility to address the threat of multi-drug resistant bacterial pathogens. Phenotypic screening remains the primary source for new antibacterial compounds, which mainly come from mining various chemical libraries. In this webinar, Carl Balibar […]
