Dr Keller and Dr Hammond win awards at INEOS Oxford Institute Early Career Researcher’s Symposium

On Thursday, March 14, Beyond Antibiotics PDRAs Dr. Ffion Hammond and Dr. Sara Keller presented flash talks at the IOI Early Career Researcher’s Symposium held at the Said Business School. The theme of the symposium was “Multidisciplinary Approaches to AMR”, in which researchers, policymakers, ethicists, and clinicians were brought together to discuss the current challenges and opportunities facing AMR.

Ffion’s flash talk was titled “Modelling drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in the gastrointestinal tract” in which she discussed her works evaluating the effects of antibiotics on the gut microbiome. Sara’s flask talk was titled “Quantitative evaluation of ultrasound-mediated antibiotic therapy in S. aureus and P. aeruginosa biofilms” in which she presented her work on using ultrasound as a “drug-free” antibiotic.

Both Ffion and Sara won flash talk awards – excellent progress and effort from the Beyond Antibiotics team!
