ICARe
INTERDISCIPLINARY COURSE ON
ANTIBIOTICS AND RESISTANCE
16 - 24 OCTOBER 2021 | Les Pensières, Annecy, France
Registration details will be announced in 2021.
The emergence and spread of bacteria resistant to many drug classes seriously threaten all branches of modern medicine. There is currently no course providing advanced instruction on antibiotics and resistance. The specific goal of ICARe is to bring leaders in academics and industry together with trained scientists at the dawn of their careers. Cutting-edge approaches for the study of resistance and antibiotic discovery will be examined.
