The Biological and Pharmacological Sciences Pillar covers a wide range of areas; from bacterial mechanism(s) of AMR, to developing new therapeutics as a first line of defence against foreseeable health crises. 

For those working in clinical and veterinary medicine, the challenge of AMR is apparent on a daily basis. AMR does not respect boundaries of age or geography, so we are all responsible for good infection practice and contributing to research to reduce the burden of AMR.

Research in the Epidemiology and Modelling Pillar includes mathematical, epidemiologic, micro-economic and macro-economic models to describe the incidence, prevalence, mechanisms, cost of AMR, and cost-effectiveness of control strategies against diverse infectious pathogens.

The Economic, Social and Political Sciences are a crucial component of our research into the individual, social, and societal aspects of AMR across the world. We study behaviours and their complex relationships with environments, health systems and policies in different social, economic and political contexts, and promote policy impact through direct engagement with decision-makers around the globe. 

The Humanities and Environmental Sciences Pillar includes a broad range of disciplines, drawing on expertise from across environmental health science and microbiology, geography, history, and literary and critical studies to examine the threat of AMR through a multifaceted ecological, social, and biological lens.
