Antibiotic Resistance Global Working Group

is a collaboration between researchers at 桃色视频 and Aga Khan University in Pakistan dedicated to better understanding the rapid spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) across the world and ultimately to stave off the high mortality associated with infections from resistant bacteria.  The project aims to develop infrastructure to evaluate AMR across two disparate healthcare systems and to better understand of how health-care providers make decisions around antibiotic prescribing.  This includes the development of best practices for collecting standardized patient-level, microbiologic and bacterial genomic data in order to identify, investigate and prevent the spread of antimicrobial resistance globally, as well as the design and implementation of behavioral interventions to help providers adapt in meaningful and productive ways across different clinical settings.

Featured Course

Biomedicine and World History (379-0-20)

This lecture course uses the Covid-19 pandemic as a point of departure to study the history of global health and biomedicine in comparative terms. We will break up the quarter into four segments during which we will consider: 1) how and why infectious diseases "unified" the globe and with what effects; 2) the role of empires, industries, war, and revolutions in spreading biomedical ideas, experts, and tools around the world; 3) the functions played by transnational and global health institutions in setting medical priorities and sustaining health norms across continents; and 4) the growth of clinical trials, the pharmaceutical industry, and narcotics trade.
