Scottish Universities Life Sciences Association conference on Antimicrobial Resistance

We hope by connecting individuals across the spectrum of research, human and veterinary health, industry and policy that Scotland can work collectively to better address the issues surrounding AMR.

One of the main aims of the Scottish Univeristies Life Sceicnes Association (SULSA) is to bring the Scottish life sciences research community together, and this conference will inform and coordinate fundamental and applied research activity on AMR within SULSA universities and other relevant organisations in Scotland.

To facilitate a more connected, Scottish-wide approach SULSA will launch a seed-funding call after the meeting for registered attendees.
