The AMR Studio

This month we bring you the work and career of Dr. Olof Lindahl, one of the associate senior lecturers at UAC, working in the field of business studies applied to AMR. In the news section, we present to you a new innovative method to test how antibiotics combinations work, and cover a recent article looking into the evolution of plasmid stability in relation to antibiotic treatment. We hope you enjoy this episode and looking to having you back next month. Check relevant links and material at www.uac.uu.se/the-amr-studio/episode22/.

Welcome back to The AMR Studio after the summer vacation! ☀️ Today we bring you a long-waited interview with CEFAIA's founder & AMR scientist Dr. Ursula Theuretzbacher. Learn about her career, current interests and work through our conversation, very enlightening! In the news section we cover the current launching of a big international collaborative & non-profit project, The AMR Action Fund, and a recent publication going in depth about the pitfalls of the term "antimicrobial resistance" in the light of psycholinguistics. We are excited to be back and hope you throughly enjoy this episode. See you back next month.

July is here, and so is the heat! This month at The AMR Studio we bring you the work of Dr. Peter Jørgensen, from the Stockholm Resilience Center. Listen to this episode to learn about what resilience means, how it is related to AMR and how an evolutionary biology perspective can help achieve a more sustainable future. In the news section, we cover a recent published work looking into the background understanding and explanations of AMR in the public, plus an exciting update on how the promising teixobactin antibiotic works. Special thanks in this episode to Isa Moreno, who did a terrific job editing the interview, and big big congratulations to Jenny, who just had her first kid a week before the release of this episode (and a week after the last recording!). We hope you enjoy this month's episode and to have you back here with us next month!

We welcome the summer at The AMR Studio! This month, we bring you a deep conversation with Dr. Johan Bengtsson Palme from the CARe center in Gothenburg about the role of the environment in the AMR problem and how his group focuses on studying it. Dive deep into this essential part of "one health" that is so frequently talked about. In the news, we feature two recent UAC articles! Our PhD student Viktor Rognås has published his work on understanding the pharmacokinetics of colistin in very sick patients, while our PhD student Gbemisola Allwell-Brown has published her first article looking into the trends of antibiotic use in 73 low- & middle-income countries. Congrats guys! We hope you enjoy this episode and see you again in July!

May the 4th be with you! Welcome back to our studio, fellow listeners. We are thrilled to bring you an episode looking into some of the newest approaches within AMR research. First, we feature an interview with bioinformatician Dr. François Lebreton, whose primary work consists of using DNA sequence analysis to study outbreaks of resistant strains. In the news section, we talk about machine learning and present two recently published articles about its use in pathogen identification, susceptibility testing and drug discovery. We hope you enjoy it! Check relevant links and material at www.uac.uu.se/the-amr-studio/episode18/. Follow our updates on twitter on www.twitter.com/uac_uu with #theAMRstudio hashtag!

Hi there! Whether you are still at work and doing normal life, or staying home during these difficult times, we got you! Welcome to another episode full of relevant topics around antibiotics and resistance. This month we have an interview with veterinarian Dr. Kristina Osbjer, whose work in Cambodia has helped to set up a multi-sectoral national action plan following up recommendations from the global action plan by WHO. Tune in to learn the process and challenges of such work and why these are needed all around the world to find sustainable solutions to the resistance problem. What about some news? In this occasion we dwell on two research articles by two PhD students at our center! One of the studies presents a new way of rapidly assessing antibiotic susceptibility, whereas the other is looking into the possible relationship between antibiotic treatment in children and the development of type I diabetes. We hope you are safe and healthy - strength and love to all of you.

Hi listeners! New month, new episode at The AMR Studio. Spring is around the corner and today we bring you an enthusiastic and very eloquent interview with Dr. John Rex, a former infectious diseases doctor that currently works, as he puts it, in developing new drugs, making development of new drugs possible, or making sure people get paid to develop new drugs. Join us in a deep conversation about antibiotics research & development, the antibiotic market and current new ideas not to let this needed sector die. In the news section, we cover a short commentary looking into the societal value of antibiotics, an investigation about how American and Canadian newspapers present AMR in their pages, and a "sciency" article looking into collateral sensitivity (a.k.a. the opposite of cross-resistance). We hope you enjoy this packed episode!

Welcome to another month at The AMR Studio. We are happy to bring you something special this time: a chronicle of a very cool event we were at this past December, a hackathon! Press play to learn what a hackathon is, the projects worked on during the weekend, impressions from some of the people attending, and of course, who won the grand prize! Next month we will be back to our regular structure, but meanwhile we hope you enjoy this one. Check relevant links and material at www.uac.uu.se/the-amr-studio/episodex5/.

Welcome to the "new" roaring 20s! Celebrate the new year and decade with us by listening to our latest episode, featuring an interview with Dr. Jasper Littmann, Specialist Director for Strategy and Development at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. In this interview, we learn how an ethicist works when translating knowledge into action within policy making, the challenges in communicating with policy makers, and how the AMR field has changed in the last years. In the news section, we cover two back-to-back publications reviewing the preclinical pipeline and discussing antibiotic development challenges.

Welcome back to our regular episodes! Join us and Catherine Will, from the University of Sussex, in a conversation about how people understand the messages about AMR and how the different mobilizations, stewardship measures, and campaigns around antimicrobial resistance attend to questions of inequality and social injustice. In our news section, we summarize the recent published work by the Wellcome Trust on reframing and communication of resistance, and do a run-through of the latest release of general reports.
