Overview

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is clearly a serious global threat. To combat potential epidemic, requires both industry and government collaboration on an international level in antibiotics R&D investments, preventive measures and emergency response. As new resistance mechanisms rapidly spread throughout the developed and developing nations, this is putting our existing antibiotic pipeline under greater higher risk of failing to resolve many standard medical treatments, as well as compromising our achievements in modern standard medicine including cancer therapeutics and surgery.

Expanding horizons on the growing global threat of AMR for almost two decades, Superbugs & Superdrugs will once again play host to an international audience of scientific leaders, funding bodies and drug discovery specialists, providing a focal point to discuss the latest clinical advancements and funding opportunities.

Working with an expert advisory board and an esteemed panel of industry leaders, the new agenda for the 18th annual show, will hone in on key topics such as R&D, collaboration, global epidemics, monoclonal anti-bodies, genome sequencing, rapid diagnostic tools, antibiotic alternatives, multi-resistance gram-negative infections, resistance prevention, antimicrobial peptides, combination therapies, microbiodata host interactions, plus much more!
