The Fleming Initiative and the Department of Computing at Imperial College London are delighted to announce the appointment of Dr Nicolas Moser as the new Google DeepMind Academic Fellow.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is driven to a large degree by human behaviour, from how we prevent infection to the ways we use medication. As such, a big part of the solution needs to be guided by behaviour change, and this can be underpinned by making sure that people understand what AMR is, how their behaviour contributes, and what they can do to be part of the solution.

The Fleming Initiative and Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO, are proud to announce the winners of the inaugural Trailblazers in Antimicrobial Resistance programme, a global initiative recognising exceptional women who are inspiring and leading action against antimicrobial resistance (AMR).  

Hosted jointly by the Fleming Initiative (Imperial College London & Imperial College NHS Trust), the Ineos Oxford Institute for antimicrobial research (Oxford University) and GSK, the event paid tribute to the pioneering work of Sir Alexander Fleming, who discovered penicillium mould in his laboratory at St Mary’s Hospital (now part of Imperial College London); and to Sir Ernst Chain and Lord Howard Florey, who isolated and purified it for clinical use in Oxford.
