Thank you for joining us for the inaugural IMARI
conference in Las Vegas!

Stay tuned for updates on the 2027 dates and location.

AN ASM AND IDSA COLLABORATION
The inaugural Interdisciplinary Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance and Innovation (IMARI), brought together scientists, innovators, and cross-sector leaders together to address the global challenge of antimicrobial resistance. Over three days in Las Vegas, from January 28-30, 2026, participants explored the full innovation pipeline—from emerging resistance mechanisms to next-generation therapeutics and clinical translation—while advancing cutting-edge science and building powerful new collaborations.
 

Advances in Antimicrobial Resistance Research

Explore emerging resistance mechanisms, adaptive microbial responses, and host-pathogen dynamics. Discover how cutting-edge science is revealing novel targets and shaping strategies to combat resistance at its source.

Breakthroughs in Translation from Bench to Early Clinical Studies

Bridge the gap between discovery and delivery. Learn how pharmacological insights, target product profiles, and strategic funding models are accelerating the path from lab innovation to clinical application.

Innovations in Antimicrobial Discovery

Delve into the future of drug discovery — from target validation to AI-powered molecule design. Sessions will showcase breakthroughs in chemical biology, natural product exploration, and synthetic biology for next-generation antimicrobials.

Cross-Sector Collaborations for Impact

Connect with leaders across academia, biotech, pharma, and government. Hear how collaborative networks and public-private partnerships are driving real-world impact and shaping the antimicrobial R&D ecosystem.
