NOSOCOMIAL: Rise Of The Resistance

NOSOCOMIAL: Rise of The Resistance

A festival of Healthcare Science performance and events. 
Presented by Nosocomial & Precision AMR 
May 2021

Anti-biotic, or anti-microbial resistance (AMR) is a looming health crisis. Years of reliance on existing antibiotics has accelerated the ability of bacteria and microbes – living organisms – to develop resistance. Without these drugs, treatment and surgery we take for granted will be impossible; recovery from infections and illnesses will fail. Until new antibiotics are identified, antibiotic guardianship is essential to preserve effectiveness for as long as possible. 

The Precision AMR initiative is funding research projects in microbiology, bacteriology, genomics, data linkage, behavioural science at GOSH, ICH, UCL and UCH.

Artists can’t invent new antibiotics. But we can communicate, inspire, share ideas. Rise Of The Resistance will celebrate creativity, innovation and collaboration - artists and scientists learning from each other.
