Author and Scientific Director from Da Volterra Presents Insight at 19TH Annual Superbugs Summit

LONDON, ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM, January 23, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Innovative approaches to antibiotic drug discovery will be presented by industry expert Jean de Gunzberg, through new updates on microbome-target products at SMi’s 19th annual Superbugs & Superdrugs show when it returns to Central London this spring.

The established Superbugs event set to take place on 20th & 21st March 2017, will once again gather an international audience of scientific leaders, government bodies and anti-infective specialists, to discuss new clinical and industry advances towards fighting antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Jean de Gunzburg is the Chief Scientific Officer of Da Volterra, an emerging French biotechnology company committed to the discovery and development of innovative approaches to control the deleterious consequences of antibiotic treatments.

His keynote address will explore the consequences of antibiotic-induced dysbiosis, delve further into pharmacological interventions targeting the gut microbiome, and offer progressive insight into microbiodata-derived products aimed at C. difficile infections.

When asked about thethe threat of AMR, Jean said:

"The threat of antimicrobial resistance is even more serious than in the previous years: antimicrobial stewardship in developed countries has not made much progress, while uncontrolled antimicrobial use and the lack of containment strategies for resistant organisms in many developing countries, such as waste water management (sewage), are enabling the level of resistance to continue increasing."

"Economic initiatives ensuring that such R&D projects are sustainable for pharma must be put into place and supported by governments and health insurance systems"

Da Volterra will be joining other notable speakers at Superbugs & Superdrugs 2017 including the FDA, TranScrip, Chemical Biology Ventures, BARDA, GlaxoSmithKline, Spero Therapeutics and Discuva.
