Podcast on microbes and antimicrobial resistance

What if the bacteria around us could outsmart modern medicine? In the new podcast ‘Bugs, Drugs and Genomes’, DTU-researchers and their guests explore the bacteria behind antimicrobial resistance, one of today’s biggest global health challenges.

The Research Group for Global Capacity Building (GloCaB) at the DTU National Food Institute is launching “Bugs, Drugs, and Genomes”, a new science podcast that brings to life the stories behind antimicrobial resistance.You can listen to the podcast every Wednesday at 12:00 PM (CEST).

GloCaB works to strengthen global antimicrobial resistance surveillance by supporting laboratory capacity for whole-genome sequencing across Europe, Africa, and Asia, in collaboration with international partners.

The podcast in brief

Whether you’re a student, a professional, or just curious, you can look forward to:

• Insights into how antimicrobial resistance emerges, spreads, and impacts people worldwide.
• Behind-the-scenes perspectives on global health defense, from international surveillance to outbreak detection.
• Career perspectives from early and late-career researchers on what it’s really like to work with microbes and antimicrobial resistance.
• Fun microbiology segments, where experts share their favourite bacteria and explain what makes them fascinating – and sometimes frustrating.

This is science podcasting in its purest form: the stories behind antimicrobial resistance, the people shaping the big picture, the teams in the laboratories and the microorganisms that, irritatingly, refuse to follow our plans. Get ready to geek out, one episode at a time!
