The Fleming Initiative today published two key outputs aimed at accelerating global action on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) education.

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.

The Fleming Initiative will assume management of the Fleming Fund Fellowship alumni network from April 2026, ensuring the continuation of an important global antimicrobial resistance (AMR) capacity-strengthening programme, following the close of the UK Government’s Fleming Fund.

Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust has unveiled updated designs for the Fleming Centre, to be built on the St Mary’s Hospital campus in Paddington, drawing on initial public, staff and partner feedback earlier this year.

The Fleming Initiative has further reinforced its role as a global convener and driver of efforts to tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR), following a recent strategic visit by Lord Darzi to the US and the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Johns Hopkins University.

As the anniversary of the 2024 United Nations General Assembly on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is upon us, we thought it a fantastic opportunity to reflect on the progress made since the world’s attention was on AMR twelve months ago.  

Lord Darzi, Executive Chair of the Fleming Initiative, led strategic visits to Washington D.C. and met with senior leaders in the US administration.
