ConferenceThe Gordon Research Conference on New Antibacterial Discovery and Development is a premier international scientific meeting dedicated to advancing frontier research on antibacterials aimed at addressing the global antimicrobial resistance crisis. Held over five days in a remote Tuscan venue to foster an immersive scientific community, the conference brings together researchers from academia, industry, biotech, and healthcare to share cutting-edge, unpublished work and engage in in-depth discussions.
Planned sessions emphasise unmet clinical needs, innovative approaches in antibacterial target discovery, new drug development, preclinical technologies and strategies to transform the antibiotic pipeline. Poster sessions, extensive discussion time after talks and informal networking opportunities are designed to facilitate collaboration and career development for participants across all stages of their careers. An associated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) for early-career scientists precedes the main conference.
