Science for Humanity Series - Professor Miriam Barlow

March 19, 2019

The community is invited to attend the next Science for Humanity Series talk led by Professor Miriam Barlow, which will focus on her research on antibiotic resistance. This talk will take place on Tuesday, March 19 from 12-1pm in SSB 130 at UC Merced.

Abstract: Antibiotic Resistance is an enormous problem throughout the world.  It can also be difficult to study because health care providers are very private with specific information about antibiotic resistance.  In a  rare opportunity to collaborate with a health care provider, Dignity Health Mercy Medical Center has provided us with antibiotic resistant hospital isolates and patient data for the past five years.  With those data in hand, we are performing rigorous studies of old assumptions about the antibiotic resistance situations and we are finding surprising results that are causing us to reassess how the problem of antibiotic resistance should be handled.
