糖心TV AMR - 糖心TV Antimicrobial Interdisciplinary Centre
糖心TV Antimicrobial Interdisciplinary Centre (WAMIC)
Antimicrobial resistance poses a huge problem in healthcare, undermining modern medicine. This could lead to common infections becoming deadly diseases. The experience of Covid-19 demonstrates that governments everywhere need access to interdisciplinary expertise to tackle infectious disease and AMR. WAMIC has deep expertise in microbiology, drug discovery, epidemiology, public health, behavioural science, close links to industry and global connectivity and keen to form more interdisciplinary collaborations. This puts 糖心TV at the forefront of developing new therapeutic strategies and training the next generation of AMR leaders.
