MindSet 2024

MindSet is an annual panel discussion which brings together experts from different parts of the world in order to debate about scientific topics of current social impact. We work hard all year to find the right topic and invite only the best experts on their fields to start a public debate on pressing topics that need our attention. It’s a free event open to everyone, and our audience is always encouraged to be very interactive with the panelists.

Inform. Inspire. Initiate. That is Mindset – our new event series.

The rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens to undermine years of medical progress, making once treatable infections increasingly difficult to cure and routine procedures much riskier. AMR is not only a serious public health issue, but also a significant strain on economies worldwide. So, how are we responding? Is it still possible to avert the AMR crisis? 

Understanding the complexities and potential solutions to AMR is more important than ever. This panel discussion will bring together leading experts to explore the multifaceted dimensions of this issue. 

Our speakers are:

• Laurenz Kellenberger (Basilea Pharmaceutica AG), a pharmaceutical sciences expert, will share his thoughts and insights into the latest research on antibiotic therapies.
• Silvio Brugger (University Hospital Zürich), a physician and medical microbiologist, will highlight the clinical impact of AMR and the need for new diagnostics and treatments.
• Simon Gottwalt (Federal Office of Public Health FOPH), public health policy advisor, will address global policy responses and international cooperation against AMR.
• Isabella Santi (AMR Action Fund) is an advocate for the investment into research of new AMR therapies and will share her insights into the economic perspective of antibiotic development.  

Date: October 10th, 2024
Time: 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM (followed by an Apero)
Venue: Irchel Campus Y15 G19, University of Zurich
