AMR research, funding and incentives – updates at SMi event in London

SMi reports: Antimicrobial resistance was predicted by Alexander Fleming in his Nobel lecture (1945). Since that warning, measures have been taken in acknowledgement of the threat of AMR, but tackling this issue is still an ongoing battle. On the global scale WHO has been the most instrumental body to take action. SMi Group is proud to be part of the fight with the Superbugs & Superdrugs Conference. Now in its 20th year, the event has firmly become established as the industry's premier platform for updates on antimicrobial resistance research, funding and incentives.

Conference is taking place in London on 19 - 20 March. To join and be a part of the global force head on to Superbugs & Superdrugs website to book your attendance http://www.superbugssuperdrugs.com/pharmaphorum
