Research Careers in Antimicrobial Resistance

Antimicrobial resistance is the ‘silent pandemic’ and to tackle this challenging public health problem we need to attract the best and brightest. Today we will discuss pathways to work on this field with trainees who will be the next generation of outstanding researchers in the field, currently as part of different T32 training programs in the United States. Welcome to Editors in Conversation
Objectives:
- Discuss different pathways to follow careers in antimicrobial research
- Comment on the challenges to follow an academic and research pathways
