Ep 60: Till Bachmann & providing solutions for AMR. AI to help tackle AMR. Horizontal gene transfer drivers.
Welcome to episode 60th! YES, 60!! Celebrate this rounded number with us and Prof. Till Bachmann in an inspiring interview where we learn Till’s journey, explore how diagnostics are an essential part of managing AMR and infection treatment, and revisit the DOSA project. This multidisciplinary & one-health-focused multi-country endeavor provides solutions to a neglected disease: UTI.
In the news section, we cover a recent review looking at the current uses of AI in the field of AMR and how it can help us better tackle different fronts, like diagnostics, surveillance, or antibiotic development. We also bring you the latest publication by the CARe center in Gothenburg, where they show that an AI model can predict successful horizontal gene transfer leading to resistance, and what drives these events.
We hope you enjoy this episode!
