CHARM Colloquium Series

The CHARM Colloquium Series is a monthly meeting to bring together AMR scientists across disciplines and professional settings. Each month will feature a unique format with 25 min talks from a CHARM Investigator and an Industry Innovator in the first hour, an invited outside seminar speaker at the forefront of antibiotic resistance innovation for a full 50 min seminar in the second hour, then finally an hour of networking for all attendees with food and drinks. Debuted on September 17, 2019! All CHARM Colloquiums are in the Health Sciences Education Center Large Auditorium (see map below for directions and parking)
