Why Should You Attend:

Infection is a growing global problem once only addressed through the design of antibiotics. As has been well documented, bacteria frequently develop a resistance to antibiotics, and thus, researchers have explored new avenues to keep bacteria from harming human health.

This webinar will cover the approach the FDA has taken towards regulatory approval of new pharmaceutical agents to treat bacteria and how that approach is changing in light of the growing number of antibiotic resistant bacteria strains. It will also emphasize non-drug solutions as a way to obtain faster FDA approval for fighting infections.

Learning Objectives:

  • Infection and how to treat infections
  • What technologies (FDA and non-FDA) exist to fight infections
  • What future directions and opportunities exist for fighting infections

Areas Covered in the Webinar:

  • Fundamentals of infection and the use of materials/drugs to fight infection
    • What is an infection
    • Antibiotic-resistant infections
    • How do you stop an infection
    • Viruses versus bacteria
    • Medical device mediated versus non-medical device mediated infections
    • Material versus drug approaches
  • FDA regulatory approvals for drugs and materials used to fight infection
    • Currently approved drugs used to fight infection
    • Currently approved materials used to fight infection
    • FDA guidance documents for approaches to fight infection
  • Future thoughts on approaches to fight infection
    • Remaining hurdles
    • Outlook for new technologies

Who Will Benefit:

  • Scientists
  • Industry personnel
  • Students (all levels)
  • Patent lawyers
  • Clinicians
  • All persons with an interest in improving how we treat infections
