Many misunderstandings about antimicrobial resistance continue to exist! AIVRT (All-island Vaccine Research and Training Alliance) focuses on presenting facts and empowering people with knowledge to tackle this global challenge. ☺️💪📽️ #WAAW #AntimicrobialResistance #Healthcare #MythBusters #HealthForAll #OneHealth #PreventInfection #AMR #AMRResearch #AntibioticResistance #PublicHealth #GlobalHealth #InfectionPrevention #HEA #NSRP
A key focus of AIVRT is Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). But what exactly is AMR? AIVRT explores this important concept and its effects on global health. Grasping the significance of AMR is essential for a healthier future!💡🛡️ 😊 #AMR #PublicHealth #Awareness #WAAW #AntimicrobialResistance #Healthcare #MythBusters #HealthForAll #OneHealth #PreventInfection #AMR #AMRResearch #AntibioticResistance #PublicHealth #GlobalHealth

AIVRT is a multifaceted initiative training the next generation of researchers across the island in vaccine design, development, testing, and deployment. 📢 PhDs and Postdoctoral Researchers are making progress in their fields every week. Today, take a quick look at an example of a PhD in the lab and a PhD presenting in public. 💡🔬🧠 Diverse fields connected, collaborating!
1️⃣ & 2️⃣ 📸 Behind the scenes in the fi#AntiMicrobialResistance! Here’s AIVRT PhD Nouran Rezk with a lab trolley full of Petri dishes, meticulously developed and examined. These dishes are vital for culturing microorganisms and testing vaccine antigens, helping develop safer, more effective immunisations. Among this batch, Nouran, working with AIVRT Lead PI UCD Conway Institute Siobhán McClean, has identified two promising vaccine candidates that demonstrate strong protective efficacy against Acinetobacter baumannii - one of the most challenging antibiotic-resistant pathogens. A. baumannii is listed by the World Health Organisation as a top-priority threat, a major cause of hospital-acquired infections, and is often implicated in casualties during conflict and disaster situations. This is just one example from the @AIVRT network highlighting the meticulous effort of PhD and Postdoctoral researchers, who consistently emphasise thorough detail and rigorous validation to ensure safe and valuable contributions to their respective specialisms and science as a whole. Together, AIVRT is making a difference in the #AMR battle!
3️⃣ 4️⃣ 📸 Next, we have Caoimhe Shields presenting to Public Health Agency (PHA). Caoimhe, working with AIVRT PI QUB School of Psychology, Gillian Shorter presented PhD research on the cross-border differences in public knowledge, awareness, behaviours and beliefs regarding antimicrobial resistance and vaccines across the island of Ireland, as well as socio-demographic and AMR-related belief predictors of vaccine hesitancy.
Different locations, different specialisms, proactively working towards the goal of understanding and solving public health problems! ☺️ 🛡️ #AIVRT #HEA #NSRP #AMR #GlobalHealth #AntibioticAwareness #AMR #EmpowerChange #HealthForAll
🌟 While World AMR Week may have closed, the AIVRT messages of #WAAW2025 endure!! 🔬 🔊 💡 Huge thanks to our amazing team of PhDs and Postdocs for their dedication to spreading awareness and making an impact. 😊 Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a challenge that can affect anyone, regardless of age, health, or location. Its impact knows no boundaries! Together, we're making a difference!! 🙌 🙂 ✨ 💫#Teamwork #AMR #WAAW #EmpowerChange #HealthForAll #HEA #NSRP
🌍✨ For the final day #WorldAMRWeek, AIVRT says "Think Global, Act Local" and takes a global look and provides an overview of how, worldwide, we're addressing antimicrobial effectiveness and protecting human, animal, and environmental health through coordinated, evidence-based actions. 🌏
Check out the slides to learn what’s happening across regions worldwide! 🔊 While progress is being made, we must remain vigilant and strive for real solutions to tackle the emergence and spread of drug-resistant pathogens. 🛡️ We can do it. 🙂 🔬 💡 ☺️ #AMR #GlobalHealth #WAAW
