With my colleagues in China, we developed and trialed an intervention to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use in primary care, with good results (more about that on Thursday 19th November). 
We've conducted 'One Health' research in Cambodia and reviewed with policy makers AMR strategies for people and farm animals. 
I'm interested in partnering with those interested in health service intervention development and evaluation research in low-middle income settings.  ]]> 2020-10-06 14:00:15 UTC https://padlet.com/universityofleeds/k7yrxouxym8mnems/wish/806735615 Vishal Aggarwal vrkaggarwal1 https://padlet.com/universityofleeds/k7yrxouxym8mnems/wish/809869435 I'm a Clinical Associate Professor at the School of Dentistry with interests in evidence based management of acute and chronic dental pain. For the latter I have developed a complex intervention under the auspices of NIHR fellowship funding.
I have several years of clinical experience of managing acute dental pain in the UK and, on a voluntary basis, in middle-low income countries like India where unnecessary prescription  of antibiotics for toothache is common-place. 
I am keen to learn from other health service intervention approaches developed at Leeds and which may be applied  to dental settings to reduce antibiotic prescribing for dental problems in India and other middle-low income countries. 
Currently exploring the scale of the problem through a PhD project which is jointly supervised with Rebecca King and hope to share our findings during the seminar series.]]> 2020-10-07 11:42:29 UTC https://padlet.com/universityofleeds/k7yrxouxym8mnems/wish/809869435 Zhan Yuin Ong https://padlet.com/universityofleeds/k7yrxouxym8mnems/wish/809927639 I am a University Academic Fellow in Health Engineering with a joint appointment in the Schools of Physics and Medicine. My research focuses on the design of membrane active antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and the development of nanoparticle mediated strategies to enhance therapeutic potentials of AMPs. I am interested to find out more about the AMR research in Leeds, share our research, and develop new collaborations to combat AMR.

I'm particularly interested in how the arts can help to facilitate learning and voice, especially in settings where communication is complex (well, when is is not?! but, for example, multilingual, intercultural and post-conflict contexts). I'm here because interdisciplinary research projects often involve engagement across communities and sectors, which I view fundamentally as processes of education. My interest is in understanding what and how learning takes place through such engagement, so that the processes and outcomes of interdisciplinary research can be enhanced and theoretically articulated. So I'm interested in collaborating on AMR-related projects with a focus on communication and education. ]]> 2020-10-08 08:19:57 UTC https://padlet.com/universityofleeds/k7yrxouxym8mnems/wish/813072788 Caroline Chilton chchilton1 https://padlet.com/universityofleeds/k7yrxouxym8mnems/wish/813088299 I am a University Academic Fellow in the Leeds Institute of Medical Research.  I work within the Healthcare Associated Infections (HCAI) Research group, and am interested in the interactions between multi-drug resistant organisms (particularly Clostridium difficile and Carbapenemase Producing Enterobacteriaceae), and the normal microbial communities in the gut.  I am looking forward to hearing about other AMR research going on across the University.  ]]> 2020-10-08 08:28:39 UTC https://padlet.com/universityofleeds/k7yrxouxym8mnems/wish/813088299 Ryan Seipke SadandMadinLeeds https://padlet.com/universityofleeds/k7yrxouxym8mnems/wish/813247023 I am an Associate Professor within the Faculty of Biological Sciences.

My research work involves biological characterisation of biomaterials for dental and skeletal tissue regeneration. In the last couple of years, I grew huge interest in investigating alternative antimicrobial materials in attempts to face the challenge of AMR in dentistry, since dentists contribute to 10% of antibiotic prescriptions annually. relgendy2 https://padlet.com/universityofleeds/k7yrxouxym8mnems/wish/813258528 2020-10-08 10:13:39 UTC https://padlet.com/universityofleeds/k7yrxouxym8mnems/wish/813258528 Duncan Quincey djquincey1 https://padlet.com/universityofleeds/k7yrxouxym8mnems/wish/813274995 I am an Associate Professor in the School of Geography. My research focuses on water security, both in terms of quantity and quality, as glaciers continue to recede with climatic changes. In the AMR context I am becoming interested in how the pristine waters that emerge from the headwaters of regions like the Himalaya and the Andes become impacted by increasing concentrations of pharmaceutical products, that then (re-)enter the food chain via irrigation. And how the concentrations of these pollutants will change as the glacial contribution in the headwaters passes peak discharge and recedes in the long-term.]]> 2020-10-08 10:25:47 UTC https://padlet.com/universityofleeds/k7yrxouxym8mnems/wish/813274995 I am a consultant antimicrobial pharmacist at LTHT and a visiting professor in School of Healthcare.
