Biosensors Webinar | Detection and Characterization of Antimicrobial Resistance in Agricultural, Food and Biosystems, 11 April 2024
You are welcome to join this webinar on the detection and characterization of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in agricultural systems, food systems, and biosystems.
In this webinar, three leading experts from USA will talk about their work in characterizing AMR transport during composting and its implications for agriculture production, the detection and characterization of AMR in food supply chains, and the development of various biosensing techniques for AMR detection in biosystems.
The spreading of AMR in agricultural and food supply chains, as well as in biosystems, poses a significant threat to public health, and to deal with this threat, we must understand how AMR genes are transported throughout biosystems. Biosensors and data-driven analysis play key roles in fulfilling these needs.
Today, we will discuss some aspects of these exciting new developments.
Date: 11 April 2024 at 4.00 p.m. CEST | 10:00 a.m. EDT | 10:00 p.m. CST Asia
