The medical community continues to warn the public of the desperate need for new antibiotics to control infectious diseases. All too frequently, patients die of infections that current antibiotics are unable to control. The Infectious Disease Society of America is challenging the scientific community, policy makers and regulatory agencies to work together to “create a sustainable antibiotic R&D infrastructure” to identify ten new systemic antibiotics by 2020. How difficult will this be? What are the key hurdles? What efforts are on-going to speed the process of discovering and developing new antibiotics, and will any of these changes impact the discovery and development of drugs in other therapeutic areas? Join our speaker, Molly Schmid in a discussion that crosses science with policy!
