NDPIA

NDPIA research school aims to play an important role in training the next generation of scientists that will confront the global public threat of infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance. NDPIA excels in training young researchers in this area by enhancing their skills and knowledge, fostering collaboration and interdisciplinary learning, offering career development courses to help retain these researchers, and serving as a global network for infection biology researchers. The suggested NDPIA programme presents in-depth training courses and activities that equip individuals with the necessary comprehension to tackle these pressing health-care challenges using a One-Health strategy. These courses also increase understanding of healthcare policies and the societal and economical effects of infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance.

NDPIA supports participation in these activities by co-funding the course and accommodation costs for its members. PhD students and postdoctoral fellows enrolled at a Swedish university/institute or and studying infection biology and/or antibimicrobials are welcome to apply for membership.
