Shown with some of his MORU Microbiology Team, Dr Direk Limmathurotsakul, 2nd right, is currently using a MORU Public Engagement grant to develop an AMR Dictionary in English and five SE Asia languages.
MORU is participating in a project to reduce antibiotic resistance on farms in Asia by educating farmers. In his first 12 years working as a vet in Bangladesh, Bikash Chandra Saha routinely prescribed antibiotics.
