A key measure to mitigate antimicrobial resistance is to develop new antibiotics but how is this done? Join us for an introduction to the stages of this process from discovery to clinical trials and pharmaceutical development. A must-watch for students and clinicians or anyone interested in learning more about what is being done to control the AMR crisis.

Presentation 2: An overview of antibiotic clinical trials (Mo Yin)
Introduction of Phase 1 to 3 randomised controlled trials
Real world examples of antibiotic clinical trials and their interpretation
Novel trial methodologies relevant to antibiotics

Presentation 3: Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) in Drug Development (Herbert Wetli)
