OBJECTIVE
The objective of ICARe is to train the next generation of scientists implicated in the study of bacterial resistance to antibiotics and the finding of new drugs.
THEMES
ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE & DISCOVERY
MODES OF ACTION & MECHANISMS OF RESISTANCE OF EXISTING CLASSES
ORIGIN, MUTATIONS, & TRANSFER OF RESISTANCE
ANTIBIOTIC DEVELOPMENT & APPROVAL
STRATEGIES FOR MORE FOCUSED APPLICATIONS OF ANTIBIOTICS
SUSCEPTIBILITY DETERMINATION & IDENTIFICATION OF RESISTANCE MECHANISMS
NEW ANTI-INFECTIVE STRATEGIES
BIOINFORMATICS
PARTICIPANTS
ICARe is designed for assistant professors, new industry scientists, ID fellows, and postdoctoral research associates, as well as members from developing areas contending with the challenge of managing antibiotic resistance with limited resources. Attendance will be limited to 40 students and will reflect the global nature of the problem.
