ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE AND MECHANISMS

WORKSHOP FOR RESEARCHERS

THE BIRMINGHAM CONFERENCE AND EVENTS CENTRE, HILL STREET, BIRMINGHAM, B5 4EW28-29 NOVEMBER 2019

PROGRAMME

WELCOME TO THE FOURTEENTH ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE AND MECHANISMS WORKSHOP FOR RESEARCHERS

This workshop will offer members of the UK community researching mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance the opportunity to meet, to consolidate and extend the expertise held within individual laboratories in the United Kingdom. It will provide a much needed forum to allow the sharing of knowledge between all grades of researchers, including PhD students and technicians. As in previous years, the British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy will underwrite the majority of costs for this meeting. The focus of our support this year will be on those who present a poster at the meeting and we will be offering discounted places to those with accepted poster abstracts. To apply for a discounted place we kindly ask that you submit a poster abstract along with your registration.

We encourage everyone who can support their own attendance to pay the full registration fee.

We look forward to welcoming you in Birmingham.
