Research Themes

Our work is structured along the themes Diagnostics, Surveillance, Transmission, Environment, Therapeutics and Biomaterials, and Interventions. The core of our research is on antibiotics and/or antibiotic resistance, but we also host research on antifungals and antifungal resistance.

The intention is to streamline and optimize research efforts around antibiotic resistance.
