AMR - TARGeTED mini symposium on Drug Development

Alison Parkin has put together the following mini-symposium to enable the people working on drug development to get together and share ideas and progress.

Antibiotic Drug Development: TARGeTED Research Symposium
 
The EPSRC TARGeTED project has initiated a broad collaboration between Biology and Chemistry academics who are working towards developing new antibiotics for hijacking specific microbes. We are having an afternoon research symposium to share our results and ideas. We hope that this event will be followed by similar research meetings in the future.

Draft program:
1:00-1:30 Gavin Thomas "Mechanisms for Microbial Drug Uptake"
1:30-2:00 Anne Duhme Klair / Anne Routledge "Siderophore Delivery of Antibiotics"
2:00-2:30 Siobhan O'Brien "How Pseudomonas aeruginosa Utilizes Siderophores and Pyocyanin"
2:30-3:00 tea/coffee break
3:00-3:30 Mike Brockhurst "Why Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Difficult but Important Antimicrobial Drug Target"
3:30-4:00 Ian Fairlamb / Jason Lynam "Designing Molecules for Triggered CO-release"
4:00-4:30 James Moir "Antimicrobial Activity of CO Releasing Molecules"
4:30-5:00 Ben Aucott "Synthetic Routes for Building Redox-Functionalised CO Releasing Molecules"

Please email Alison if you'd like to come so we can order the right number of cups of coffee..

All welcome, even if you don't directly work on drug development of course.
