Marijn Verhoef joins the Panmure House Dialogues on AMR

The Panmure House Dialogues will bring together leaders in policymaking, the pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology, finance and academia to discuss the economic impact of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and strategies for mitigating drug resistance that balance public health priorities with investment feasability. 

In the first session, panellists will discuss how to attract more investors to fund the protection of antimicrobial products’ effectiveness and the need for cross-sector coordination in creating strategies around this goal. 

The dialogue chairs will include Adam Dixon, chair of Adam Smith at Adam Smith’s Panmure House, part of Edinburgh Business School, and Lucy Naga, postdoctoral researcher in Economics at Heriot-Watt University, who manages the Panmure House Dialogues. 

Marijn Verhoef, Director of Private Sector Engagement at the Access to Medicine Foundation, will attend the meeting. He plans to highlight the importance of allocating resources to the research and development of new antimicrobial products, drawing insights from the Access to Medicine Foundation’s AMR Research Programme.  

Insights from the dialogues will be used to create a series of white papers for guiding policy and investment communities’ strategies.
