Antimicrobial resistance continues to expand, raising the risk of a future public health crisis. This symposium, organized by the Cambridge Centre for Law, Medicine and Life Sciences, the Center for Advanced Studies in Biomedical Innovation Law at the University of Copenhagen, explores the complex interactions between law and antimicrobial research and development in order to advance our understanding of this ecosystem. It is hoped that the event will mobilize legal, economic, business, medical and scientific experts – early, mid, and late career – who recognize the need to work together to both promote antimicrobial innovation and limit the impact of antimicrobial resistance on global health.
We will hear from an international showcase of speakers and panellists including Professor Kevin Outterson (CARB-X), Professor Dame Sally Davies (Chief Medical Officer, UK), Professor Aaron Kesselheim (PORTAL, Harvard), Dr Christine Årdal (Norwegian Institute for Public Health, DRIVE-AB), Professor Steven Hoffman (York University), Dr Colm Leonard (NICE), Professor Sharon Peacock (Cambridge), and Dr Jean-Pierre Pacaud (GARDP). Lunch and refreshments will be provided, and the event will conclude with a networking and drinks reception at Christ’s College.
