Conference: Antimicrobial Resistance – Genomes, Big Data and Emerging Technologies

Closing date: 
Tuesday, 5 March 2024

Registrations deadlines: In-person - 13th Feb, Online - 5th Mar

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major challenge in our globalised world, and tackling it will take the combined resources and effort of researchers working across different disciplines. Technical advances in recent years continue to expand our ability to collect vast amounts of genomic information on pathogens, and a wealth of data is being collected in epidemiological and surveillance studies, including on the socio-economic burden of AMR.

Wellcome Connecting Science's 4th conference in this series will bring together basic researchers, clinicians, computer scientists, and policymakers interested in pathogen genomics, epidemiology, surveillance, and machine learning to explore the recent advances and current challenges of the field.

Discussions will focus on a variety of exciting topics, including:

  • Genomic surveillance of priority pathogens
  • Global public health pathogen genomics infrastructure
  • Translation and implementation of genomics for AMR control
  • Wastewater surveillance
  • AI, machine learning, and big data tools
  • Measuring the burden of AMR
