Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant global public health threat, with multi-drug-resistant infections expected to worsen over time (United Nations Foundation, 2021). As a complex challenge intersecting human, animal, and environmental health, AMR requires a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach. Purdue University’s upcoming Antimicrobial Resistance Conference, February 26-27 at Stewart Center, will explore key aspects of AMR through three thematic segments – Determinants, Dynamics, and Deterrence – each featuring an expert speaker who will share insights from a specialized area of research. Following each keynote presentation, additional speakers will contribute their findings to further advance the discussions.
