​Talks@AU Presents

​Decoding the Resistance: New Directions and Innovations in the Fight Against AMR

​🗓 06 March 2026, Friday
⏰ 12:00 PM
📍 Atria University

​Infections that refuse to heal. Antibiotics that fail. Microbes that build fortresses.

​Dr. Asha Velayudhan Nair, Associate Professor, Life Sciences at Atria University, takes us deep into the science of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and biofilm-mediated resistance, one of the most pressing global health challenges of our time.

​With a PhD from the University of Bristol and postdoctoral research experience at the University of Cambridge and IIT Kharagpur, Dr. Nair brings global expertise into Atria’s Life Sciences research ecosystem.

​This session will explore:

• ​How microbes form resilient biofilm “cities” in chronic wounds, implants, and dental plaque

• ​The molecular mechanisms behind multidrug resistance

• ​The power of multi-omics and Big Data in decoding microbial defense

• ​Breakthrough approaches like Trojan Horse nanotechnology and biofilm-disruption strategies

​This is more than a talk on antibiotics.
It’s about transforming medicine, from eliminating pathogens to disrupting fortresses.

​Open to faculty, research scholars, students, incubatees, and external participants.
