PREVENT-AMR is an inter-disciplinary research cluster with the ultimate goal of providing a research framework to address the global challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through prevention. Our cluster integrates human, animal, and environmental perspectives, and considers this issue from the perspectives of health, economics and climate change. Our cluster emphasizes cutting-edge research, partnerships, and education to mitigate the spread of resistant pathogens, safeguard public health, and promote sustainable ecosystems. Grounded in equity, diversity, and inclusivity principles, PREVENT-AMR aims to advance high impact solutions while training the next generation of leaders in AMR and One Health research.

Overdose is now the leading cause of death for youth in British Columbia, and of increasing concern nationally and internationally.
Our cluster unites an interdisciplinary team of world-leading experts dedicated to overdose prevention. Guided by principles of community trust and meaningful engagement, we collaborate closely with Youth and Family Advisory Councils, as well as Indigenous Elders and Cultural Facilitators, ensuring our work is informed by lived experiences and cultural wisdom. We work together, and create new evidence and innovative knowledge products towards our mission of ending youth overdose deaths.
