The Global Research on Antimicrobial Resistance (GRAM) Project is inviting global AMR stakeholders to attend its 29th January webinar, ‘AMR tools and resources: An introduction for health professionals and researchers’. The 90-minute session will introduce key resources designed to support professionals working to understand and address AMR.
The session will include an overview of MICROBE, an interactive visualisation platform developed by Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), that enables users to explore global AMR burden estimates and compare trends across pathogens, drug classes, and geographies. Explore MICROBE on the IHME website.
Other open access tools and resources will be introduced, including the World Health Organization's Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (WHO GLASS), and the AMR R package, a comprehensive toolkit for cleaning, analysing, and interpreting AMR data. More information about GLASS is available on the WHO website.
Finally, the AMR Data Repository, a platform co-launched by GRAM and Infectious Diseases Data Observatory (IDDO) will be introduced. The repository aims to strengthen global AMR research by curating high-value datasets, expanding access for external researchers, particularly in low, and middle-income countries, and supporting ethical data reuse. To learn more about the AMR data repository, visit the IDDO website.
The online session is open to all, with particular relevance for AMR experts, health professionals, ministry of health and policy officials, modellers, and statisticians seeking practical tools to support evidence-based action, or who analyse AMR data at institutional and country levels.
Two identical sessions are available to enable global participation. Please register for the time that best suits you.
