Registration is now open for the following event:

Antimicrobial resistance represents one of the key health challenges of the 21st century. Globally, the threat of resistance are increasing in an alarming rate. Southeast Asia have amongst the highest level of resistance in the world and is likely to increase in coming years. Concerted efforts will be crucial to reduce the existing socioeconomic burden of antimicrobial resistance. However, gaps still exists and multi-disciplinary efforts are needed to reduce the burden of diseases.

We are pleased to announce this infectious diseases meeting with a focus on “Antimicrobial resistance: Challenges of the 21st Century” to be held in Bangkok, Thailand from 4 to 6 February 2013. The primary objective of this meeting is to bring together researchers and clinicians involved in infectious diseases prevention and control. The meeting will take an integrated approach to research and will focus on a spectrum of diseases including parasitic, bacterial and viral diseases, disease pathogenesis and resistance, as well as novel approaches to new drugs for newly emerging infections. It will bring about researchers specializing in different disciplines including bacteriology, parasitology, virology, epidemiology, host genetics, immunology, structural biology, medicinal chemistry, and/or treatment and prevention strategies.
