11th Antibiotics Webinar
Structural Aspects of AMPs and Antimicrobials Ⅲ
Dear colleagues, distinguished guests, and friends,
It is my great pleasure and honor to welcome you to this webinar. I thank each of you for taking the time to join us to tackling one of the most daunting threats of our time: Antimicrobial resistance, which has quietly but steadily eroded the foundations of modern medicine. Decades of antibiotic overuse, combined with a persistent gap in innovation, have left our therapeutic cupboard increasingly bare. Multidrug‑resistant pathogens do not respect borders, and they evolve faster than we can respond. The gravity of the situation cannot be overstated. Yet, in the face of this crisis, I see remarkable reasons for hope. We are witnessing a scientific awakening driven by the convergence of powerful technologies, which are not merely incremental improvements, they are fundamentally changing how we discover, understand, design, and deploy new antibiotics.
This webinar brings together some of the most brilliant minds from across disciplines. Their pioneering work illustrates how technological integration and global collaboration are reshaping anti‑infective innovation. The solutions we need will not come from a single lab or country, but from open dialogue and collective action. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to our speakers for sharing their insights. Let us seize this opportunity to learn, connect, and inspire one another.

Synthetic Biology Brings New Opportunity for Antibiotics Discovery, 2nd Edition
Edited by Yaojie Gao, Yaojun Tong, Zixin Deng, Lixin Zhang and Shuangjun Lin
Deadline for manuscript submissions: 30 November 2026
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 5th International Electronic Conference on Antibiotics—Global Threats and Opportunities: Shaping the Next Generation of Antimicrobials (ECA 2027).
ECA 2027 aims to provide a dynamic and interactive platform for researchers, clinicians, healthcare professionals, industry experts, and policymakers worldwide to exchange knowledge, share innovative findings, and discuss emerging strategies to combat AMR. We hope that this conference will foster meaningful scientific exchange, inspire new collaborations, and advance collective efforts toward safeguarding the effectiveness of antimicrobial therapies for future generations.
