Exploring Antibiotic Resistance in Microbiomes – Health Course
Explore antibiotic resistance and discover how new technologies and tools are revolutionising our understanding of drug resistance with this online health course from the University of Oslo.
Who is the course for?
This course will be particularly useful for clinicians, basic research students, and scientists in health-science fields, as well as public health professionals. You may also find it appealing if you work in the field of bioinformatics, with a special interest in strengthening multi-disciplinary collaborations.
What will you achieve?
By the end of the course, you‘ll be able to…
Reflect upon the urgency in addressing the antimicrobial resistance crisis
Demonstrate knowledge on why microbial communities and the antibiotic resistance genes they carry-the resistome-are relevant for the understanding of drug resistance
Discuss the consequences of the off-target impact of antibiotics on microbial communities
Demonstrate knowledge on how resistome studies are designed and conducted
Apply the acquired knowledge in a hands-on activity that uses ResistoXplorer for visual, statistical and functional analysis of resistome data
