"Pint of Science" Festival in Brussels
CLEAR Doctoral Fellow Emanuela Fedele presented at the “Pint of Science Festival” in Brussels, June 18th 2026. The title of the presentation was “Synthesizing the Cure: Tackling Resistant Bacteria”.
Abstract: " I invite you on a fascinating journey into the microscopic world, where chemistry governs life at the atomic and molecular levels. Our focus is on a critical and complex challenge—antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Together, we will understand why the antibiotics we use will soon no longer be effective, how bacteria chemically modify, degrade, or bypass antimicrobials to survive, and we will finally explore cutting-edge strategies in drug design, molecular targeting, and innovative therapies to combat resistance".
Emanuela also talked about the efforts of the CLEAR network to fight antimicrobial resistance.
