OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Discussion Panel on "Novel Perspectives on How to Combat Antimicrobial Resistance"
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the emergence of bacterial strains that survive antibiotic treatments, is a major global public health concern, causing more than 1.2 million deaths each year and threatening a return to a pre-antibiotic era. Tackling AMR is a multi-faceted problem that involves actions and interventions from the understanding of AMR mechanisms to the development of new antibiotics and diagnostic tests. A panel of AMR specialists will discuss the problem and the action that is needed to slow down this “silent epidemic”.
DISCUSSION PANEL MEMBERS:
Professor Achilles Kapanidis, Professor of Biological Physics, University of Oxford (CHAIR)
Professor Timothy Walsh OBE, Director of Biology, Ineos Oxford Institute for Antimicrobial Research
Professor Hermine Mkrtchyan, Director of the Centre for Innovation in Genomics and Microbiome Sciences,

Professor William Gaze, Professor of Microbiology, University of Exeter
Professor Nicole Stoesser, Associate Professor in Infectious Diseases, University of Oxford and
