Antimicrobial Resistance – Genomes, Big Data and Emerging Technologies

Wellcome Genome Campus will host Antimicrobial Resistance – Genomes, Big Data and Emerging Technologies on 13-15 March 2024 in Hinxton, UK with onsite or virtual attendance.

This year’s programme will once again focus on genomic evidence and how to implement it in clinical practice and policy for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) control. The meeting will highlight the advances in machine learning, AI and computational tools to predict AMR. We will also discuss how to build an international genomics infrastructure to tackle AMR and emerging lessons from other global public health issues.

AMR is a major challenge in our globalised world, and tackling it will take the combined resources and effort of researchers working across different disciplines. Technical advances in recent years continue to expand our ability to collect vast amounts of genomic information on pathogens, and a wealth of data is being collected in epidemiological and surveillance studies, including on the socio-economic burden of AMR.

Discussions will focus on a variety of exciting topics, including:

• Genomic surveillance of priority pathogens
• Global public health pathogen genomics infrastructure
• Translation and implementation of genomics for AMR control
• Wastewater surveillance
• AI, machine learning, and big data tools
• Measuring the burden of AMR
