🌍 #REVIVE welcomes 19 new experts to its global community in 2026.
Their expertise spans infectious diseases, microbiology, epidemiology, drug discovery, clinical research, regulatory affairs and #AMR.
From ETH Zurich and UCL to Mahidol University, the University of Queensland, the University of Cape Town and NUS, they bring diverse perspectives to a shared challenge.
Because tackling antimicrobial resistance takes more than one discipline. It takes connections across research, discovery, clinical practice, policy and access.
Welcome to REVIVE! 🤝
