DATA-POWERED STRATEGIES TO COUNTERACT ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE

What a great day at the DATA-POWERED STRATEGIES TO COUNTERACT ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE #dataAMR18 conference hosted at the Harvard Medical School! There is so much exciting work being done to fight resistance from the development of paper-based diagnostics that can detect single-SNP variants, to high-throughput screens for novel antimicrobial compounds, to real-time genome-sequencing and resistance prediction. Development of these diverse arms of research, and complementary implementation of them in the future, will be critical to stemming the emergence and spread of resistance!
