Seminar Antimicrobial Resistance: backgrounds and innovations in diagnostics

The use of antibiotics is a matter of course worldwide. But it is becoming increasingly common for bacteria to become resistant to these agents. They are then no longer susceptible to the effects of antibiotics. This makes effective treatment of infections more difficult, resulting in illness, death and higher healthcare costs. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest global threats and five million people die directly or indirectly every year from the consequences of AMR. This number is expected to rise to ten million deaths per year by 2050.

Three experts will give during the seminar Antimicrobial Resistance insight into the backgrounds and innovations in diagnostics.

Professor John Rossen (UMCG Groningen & Isala Zwolle) is a special professor of personalized molecular microbiology and specializes in infection diagnostics. Technologies such as metagenomics and metatranscriptomics are promising innovations in diagnostics. Rossen explains how these technologies contribute to rapid diagnosis and effective treatment. Read more.

Maarten van Dongen is the founder of AMR Insights AMR Insights is an organization that combats antimicrobial resistance by informing, training and connecting professionals worldwide. Van Dongen discusses the urgency of this problem and explains how we can combat resistance by working together.

Workshop What else can you do with your lab training?

You have followed or are currently following a laboratory course. But working in the lab is not the only route you can take with this. Are you curious about what it is like to work in commerce or service? Time for a new challenge or personal development?

In this workshop you will get an idea of working in a different position. What exactly does a sales or service position entail, what qualities do you need for it and what does a working week look like?

The workshop is given by experts from the field who can answer all your questions.
