Pharmaceutics Webinar | Where Are We Now and Where Is Antimicrobial Therapy Headed?, 24 April 2024
A welcome message from Dr. Fábio Fernandes, the webinar chair:
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to welcome each of you to this webinar! As Chair, I am pleased to see the convergence of research aimed at understanding “Where Are We Now and Where Is Antimicrobial Therapy Headed?”.
Antimicrobial resistance poses more of a concern today than ever before. Our collaborative efforts, insights, and inventions are critical in navigating this difficult world. This meeting provides an opportunity for us to exchange ideas, examine breakthroughs, and plot a course for a future in which effective antimicrobial therapy remains a cornerstone of modern medicine.
Our schedule for this webinar is packed with interesting talks, from antimicrobial dendrimer and lipid nanoparticles to the regulation of biofilms by RNA. I encourage all of you to actively engage in the sessions, contribute your views, and take advantage of the opportunity to network with our panel of experts and other researchers.
Again, welcome to this webinar!
Dr. Fábio Fernandes
