DESCRIPTION:\nProfessor Kevin Outterson will give the ANTRUK 2021 Annual L
 ecture\n\n\nWe’re delighted to announce the title of this year’s ANTRUK A
 nnual Lecture:&nbsp\;‘Smarter ways to buy antibacterials’&nbsp\;given by 
 Professor Kevin Outterson. Professor Outterson is the Executive Director 
 of&nbsp\;CARB-X.\n\nDeveloping new treatments against antibiotic resistan
 t bacteria is of key importance if we are to see a world where no one die
 s from a drug-resistant infection. These new treatments can only be devel
 oped if there is sufficient funding available to support blue skies resea
 rch. CARB-X (Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Biopharmaceutical Ac
 celerator) is one of the prime funders of early stage drug development.\n
 \nWith up to US$480 million to invest in 2016-22\, CARB-X funds the best 
 science from around the world. The CARB-X portfolio is also the world’s l
 argest early development pipeline of new antibiotics\, vaccines\, and rap
 id diagnostics. CARB-X develop other products to prevent\, diagnose and t
 reat life-threatening bacterial infections as well.\n\n2021 ANTRUK Annual
  Lecture\nProfessor Outterson’s lecture\,&nbsp\;‘Smarter ways to buy anti
 bacterials’\, will take place in the afternoon of Thursday 21 October 202
 1. We’re hosting the event at the&nbsp\;Royal College of Pathologists\, 6
  Alie Street\, London E1 8QT. The event will be face to face but we are h
 oping to have a virtual option for those outside the UK.\n\nAbstract: Ant
 ibacterial effectiveness is a global public good\, but is being eroded by
  resistance and broken business models. Professor Outterson will outline 
 the problems we face from drug-resistant bacteria. Importantly\, he will 
 outline clear solutions\, focusing on changing the way health systems and
  governments buy antibacterials. The UK leads the world on this issue.\n\

 nbsp\;HERE. Antibiotic Research UK is the world’s first charity dedicated
  to overcoming bacterial antibiotic resistance. Resistance is a global he
 alth disaster that is already killing 700\,000 people a year. Without int
 ervention\, it will become a global health crisis predicted to cause 10 m
 illion deaths per year by 2050.\n\n
