Alarm 24
Amrita Legion for Antimicrobial Resistance Management (ALARM) is a two-day (November 22nd and 23rd, 2024) International Symposium organized by Amrita School of Biotechnology, Amritapuri Campus, which has been recognized by DST, as Centre of Excellence for Antimicrobial Resistance, in conjunction with IIT Kanpur and CDRI Lucknow. “Educate. Advocate. Act Now” – the theme for this year’s World AMR Awareness Week (WAAW) by WHO, aligns perfectly with ALARM 2024. The goal of this conference is to educate as well as facilitate the spread of awareness of the exponential rise in global Antimicrobial Resistance crisis.
The Symposium focuses on critical thematic areas including One Health approach, which integrates human, animal, and environmental health to combat AMR holistically. Topics include AMR in clinical settings, as well as environment and veterinary/agricultural sectors, emphasizing the interconnectivity of these areas. Key discussions will explore innovative strategies to combat AMR, such as the use of bacteriophages, advanced diagnostics and devices, discovery of new chemical entities, alongside host-directed therapies.
