Fighting AMR – “Pew’s efforts to support responsible antimicrobial use in animal agriculture”
Seminar
Friday, 16 December 2016
10:30
Room F 313
Speaker:
Karin Hoelzer, Senior Officer, Pew;
Karin Hoelzer (DVM, PhD) is a senior officer in health programs supporting Pew’s safe food and antimicrobial resistance projects. Dr Hoelzer, a veterinarian by training, focuses on research and policies related to foodborne pathogens, the use of antibiotics in animals, and other public health risks related to the food supply. She plans to discuss Pew’s overall food safety interests, international interests, and investments, with emphasis on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) activities including resistance surveillance and proposed methods for measuring antimicrobial use in agriculture. The primary audience is members of the FAO inter-departmental antimicrobial resistance working group. However given the high global profile of the issue of AMR and its impact on FAO’s core mandate (food security and agricultural production), the seminar is expected to be of wide interest to FAO staff.
All staff are welcome to attend.
