UAC alumni Dr. Carl Björvang on the stage at the conference on #antibiotic access! Now onto R&D and financing. Carl has worked at his new position at TLV on assessing the efficiency of proposed pull models. Results show a Netflix-like model with #stewardship commitments as the best one!

This week we learn about the access to #antibiotics in the Nordic Region 🇸🇪 🇩🇰 🇳🇴 🇫🇮, in a conference organized by the Swedish Medical Products Agency. Impressive comprehensive program exploring key concepts & processes, from R&D to market use!

How do we ensure access in a world with increased #AMR?
November 25, 2024 at 10:44 AM
The last two talks of today brought us two additional important aspects of #AMR: Anne-Catrin Uhlemann presented her labs work with surveillance of plasmid-mediated resistance in patients, and Sunghoon Kwon described their work creating a platform for ultra rapid testing for sepsis
November 14, 2024 at 8:19 AM
Afternoon session focusing on alternative therapeutic options for the sickest patients. When nothing else works, what can we do? @nizet.bsky.social brings us his work on #nanotechnology with his cool nanosponges, while Dongeun Yong talks about #PhageTherapy and its cumbersome process
November 14, 2024 at 6:35 AM
Continuing with more #diagnostics & #AST, but expanding to #combinations! Many times infections are treated with several #antibiotics, but how well do these combinations actually work?
@nikosfk.bsky.social & YK Kim present their most up to date results using CombiANT plates.
November 14, 2024 at 2:47 AM
Day 2 starts strong with #diagnostics on stage.
First @bachmanntill.bsky.social presenting how to address innovation, followed by Dan Andersson presenting his ambitious collaborative project aiming a complete platform that can asses infection and treatment from blood in less than 4 hours! WOW!🤯
November 14, 2024 at 2:09 AM
Great start to the BrainLink X-Day Symposium, organized by KOFST, where a group of selected Koreans & overseas scientists will discuss new approaches to collaborative work on #AMR over the next three days!
November 13, 2024 at 11:30 PM
Moving onto our final big event of this trip: BrainLink X-Lab Day Symposium on New Initiatives for Collaborative Research on Global #AMR!

Train to Busan (no zombies tho! 🧟) in great company with @bachmanntill.bsky.social, YK Kim, Dan Andersson, @nikosfk.bsky.social & @evagaresp.bsky.social

Wednesday started strong with the opening of the new Hallym Int’l Resistance Center HIARC. Our coordinator presented our path & experiences, while our director was part of the ribbon cutting (cool, huh?!) ✂️🎗️

We visited their premises and talked ongoing & future collaborations.
November 13, 2024 at 7:58 AM
Next on the schedule: BrainLink x-lab Day Talk Concert, an inspiring short talk event by KOFST serving as side event taster to the main BrainLink Symposium (more on that later!)

Impressive group of scientists sharing their most recent work on #antibioticresistance & #AMR
November 13, 2024 at 7:48 AM
During the symposium we were interviewed by health journalists from The JoongAng, one of the leading newspapers in South Korea!

We were able to explain in detail our ongoing collaboration with Hallym Sacred Heart Hospital, #AMR in 🇸🇪&🇰🇷, and how we work at the UAC.

Looking forward to the article!🗞️
