Ep 59: Vance Fowler & the Antibacterial Resistance Leadership Group. Pipeline for studying AMR in pig farms. Commentary on public involvement.
Welcome to a new episode of The AMR Studio! This month, we bring you an interview with MD Dr. Vance Fowler, co-lead of the Antibacterial Resistance Leadership Group (a.k.a. ARLG). In our chat, we learn how Dr. Fowler came into AMR, the decades-long work they’ve been doing with MRSA research, and the ins and outs of the ARLG.
In the news section, we proudly present the recent published paper by our PhD student Valeriia Ladyhina, who has worked on optimizing a pipeline to ease the work to study AMR dynamics in pig farms. We also cover a recent commentary on public involvement for AMR, and an AMR journal collection.
Thank you for being with us one more month!
