CIMAR Joins the Battle Against AMR with Collaborative and Brainstorming Workshop
March 24, 2026
The Tufts Center for Integrated Management of Antimicrobial Resistance (CIMAR) hosted its first event last month to introduce the Center to the local scientific community and to offer a platform for investigators and clinicians to showcase their research and promote collaborations. CIMAR aims to address the rise and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and we believe our faculty possess the myriad unique skillsets needed to lead this fight. Roughly 700,000 human deaths are attributable to AMR each year globally, and if trends continue, AMR could contribute to a total of 350 million deaths by 2050.
