Antimicrobial Resistance; where next?

Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM), founded in 1898, was the first institution in the world dedicated to research and teaching in the field of tropical medicine.As a registered charity, we work across the world, often in very difficult circumstances, to fulfil our mission of reducing the burden of sickness and mortality in disease endemic countries. We do that through the delivery of effective interventions which improve human health and are relevant to the poorest communities.As a teaching institution, we attract more than 600 students from 68 countries, from PhD research and Masters programmes to a range of professional courses, and work in partnership with health ministries, universities and research institutions worldwide to train the next generation of doctors, scientists, researchers and health professionals.Our state-of-the-art facilities continue to develop new drugs, vaccines and pesticides which put us at the forefront of infectious disease research.

The lecture will explore the following concepts and their role, with regards to the fact that AMR numbers are higher than previously thought:<ul><li>Interconnectedness between human, animal and environmental considerations and how these contribute to AMR</li><li>What can be done to improve our knowledge within the ‘One Health’ areas, including genomic surveillance </li><li>The role of funding and market landscape for new antimicrobials. Is it inescapable that we need new antibiotics? How can we navigate our way through funding and market bottlenecks to success?</li><li>Dame Sally’s own instrumental involvement in the UK’s response to AMR funding and challenges</li></ul>Dame Sally’s lecture will last approximately 40min.
