AMRU-Asia Pacific 2023

Welcome to AMRU-Asia Pacific 2023

It is our great pleasure to announce the 1st Research Conference on AMR/AMU in Food Animals in the Asia-Pacific Region (AMRU-Asia Pacific) to be held on 6-8 February 2023. AMRU-Asia Pacific 2023 is our first research conference that will be a platform for bringing together stakeholders from industry, academia, and government as well as other interested parties all over the world in the same virtual conference for research on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and antimicrobial use (AMU) in Asian and Pacific food animal production.

The AMRU–Asia-Pacific 2023 will be virtually held allowing global participation of AMR/AMU researchers and experts. It focuses on research projects/studies on AMR and AMU for food animal production conducted in Asia and the Pacific. The scientific program was designed to focus on key subject interests presented by high-quality keynote and guest speakers covering the following three areas:

  • AMR emergence and spread in food animals in the Asia-Pacific Region: surveillance, molecular epidemiology and transmission dynamics
  • AMU monitoring and alternatives to antimicrobials for AMU reduction in food animals in the Asia-Pacific Region
  • Bridging innovations and AMR mitigation in food animals

Three topics will be addressed in depth through scientific lectures, expert panel discussions, and electronic poster presentations.

What to expect during the virtual conference?

  1. Keynote presentations: Keynote speakers from distinguished experts in the research on AMR and AMU will be presenting key trends in research on monitoring and surveillance of AMR and AMU.
  2. Oral presentation by invited speakers. Invited expert speakers from the region and around the world will be speaking on several key areas and interests of AMR and AMU.
  3. Invited E-Poster Electronic poster presentation by invited researchers. The abstract is required and will be in the proceeding. In case that you have substantial results and wish to submit them for abstract and E-poster, please send a request to amru.asiapacific@gmail.com
  4. Research sharing forum e-poster presentation. Any researchers with research on AMR and AMU for food animal production that has been undertaken in Asia Pacific are welcome to use the "Research Sharing Forum" as a platform for sharing their findings with others as an electronic poster (RS E-Poster-No abstract is needed).

The AMRU–Asia-Pacific 2023 is jointly organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and Chulalongkorn University (CU), specifically the FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, and the FAO Reference Centre for AMR, CU Faculty of Veterinary Medicine.
