From the organizer: We live in an era where the drugs we use to treat bacterial infections are no longer working effectively.

This presents a major risk for human and animal health. Bacteria have the ability to adapt to new pressures quickly and we as humans are ill-prepared to cope with the way they evolve and adapt.

On Thursday 9 November 2017, Professor Stephen Baker will deliver our second Science in the Cafe talk, “How bad bugs become resistant to good drugs". The series is in partnership with the Ho Chi Minh City based OUCRU (Oxford University Clinical Research Unit)

Stephen will discuss how bacteria become resistant to antimicrobials? Why humans are performing the biggest microbiology experiment in history? And what we can do as members of the public to slow down the spread and development of drug resistant bacteria?

Stephen Baker is currently a Professor of Molecular Microbiology at the University of Oxford in the Nuffield Department of Medicine and a Principal Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge. Stephen has been based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, since 2007 and is funded by a Wellcome Trust Sir Henry Dale Research Fellowship, and a Wellcome Trust strategic award. 

We're honoured to have Stephen sharing his expertise with us.
