CDT AMR Annual Conference 2026
The CDT AMR Annual Conference 2026 was held on 11 May at Woburn House, London, bringing together students, researchers and partners to share research, insights and foster collaboration
The conference brought together keynote speakers and CDT AMR doctoral researchers, with students delivering a series of short “flash” presentations showcasing emerging research from across the programme.
A panel debate, “Is there a solution to AMR?”, provided a point for discussion, bringing together different perspectives from across academia and clinical research.
The event provided an opportunity to share progress, exchange ideas and explore new directions in AMR research, while encouraging discussion and supporting the development of new and ongoing collaborations.
