Program on AMR at UNC to promote Scientific Excellence (PAUSE) Seminar Series on Antimicrobial Resistance.

PAUSE-SEMINAR-SERIES

The Institute for Global Health & Infectious Diseases partners with the Department of Medicine’s Division of Infectious Diseases, the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, and the Eshelman School of Pharmacy to present a monthly lecture on topics related to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Topics range from basic to translational and clinical science, and address mechanisms of resistance, clinical and molecular epidemiology of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO), as well as prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of infections caused by MDRO.

Seminars take place one Friday each month, from 9:15am-10:00am in Bioinformatics 1131. An email with a Zoom link is sent out weekly; sign up (at left) for email notices if you haven’t already.
