This course introduces participants to AI methods used to predict disease outbreaks, to predict antibiotic resistance of pathogens, to survey pathogens and antibiotic resistance in the environment, to decipher host-pathogen interactions, to aid the development of new antimicrobials and to use AI responsibly.

In addition, three workshops are given that focus on the AlphaFold AI system, SIAMCAT metagenomic data analysis and scientific automation.

Abstract submission deadline: 8 April 2024

This five-day intensive course for NDPIA members introduces antibiotic resistance from a microbial perspective and from a clinical – One Health perspective.

• the modes of action of different antibiotics and how microbes resist the effects of the antibiotics,
• diagnostic methods to detect known and novel resistance genes,
• the origins of resistance genes and the biological cost of resistance for the microbe, and
• modern methodology for new antibiotic development and alternative therapeutics for infectious disease

Abstract submission deadline: 4 March, 2024
