The Drugs Don't Work
A symposium on Antimicrobial Resistance & Host-Pathogen Interaction
We are delighted to invite you to our launch symposium on 19-20 September 2017.
The Florey Institute for Host-Pathogen Interactions was established to create a world-leading focus on antimicrobial resistance (AMR), from fundamental science to translation, bringing together scientists and clinicians to tackle this global problem. The symposium is both the official launch event for the initiative and the final event for the Sheffield Antimicrobial Resistance Network (SHAMROK).

This event is sponsored by the EPSRC through the SHAMROK network. SHAMROK aims to enable new research and translational opportunities to facilitate engineering and physical sciences involvement to tackle the growing threat of AMR.
 
Against this background of multidisciplinary research, this 2-day symposium will highlight recent advances in bacterial pathogenesis and host-pathogen interactions, with a focus on antimicrobial resistant pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae.
