The EURESTOP Network annually brings together European industrial and academic scientists with different skills and experience in a multidisciplinary and concerted initiative. It combines disciplines such as chemistry, physics, bioinformatics, genetics, biology, immunology and medicine to understand the genetic and molecular basis of antimicrobial resistance, develop innovative diagnostic tools and deliver new compounds, antibody-based therapies and clinically repositioned drugs ready for personalized treatment of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections.

CABD researchers and UPO professors Younes Smani, Fernando Govantes and Amando Flores have formed the scientific committee of the 3rd EURESTOP Network congress held at UPO on January 30-31, 2025.
