Description

AMR Analysis Course: Learn Antimicrobial Resistance Detection Using Linux

AMR Analysis Course is a comprehensive, hands-on training program designed to teach you how to detect and analyze antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes using next-generation sequencing (NGS) data, Linux, and modern bioinformatics tools. Whether you’re a student, researcher, microbiologist, or bioinformatician, this course will help you master the complete workflow for identifying antimicrobial resistance genes in bacterial genomes.

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the world’s most significant public health challenges. With the rapid emergence of drug-resistant pathogens, healthcare organizations, researchers, and biotechnology laboratories increasingly rely on AMR analysis to monitor resistance mechanisms, support surveillance programs, and improve treatment strategies. This AMR Analysis Course provides practical training using real sequencing datasets and industry-standard bioinformatics software.

From raw sequencing reads to antimicrobial resistance gene identification and result interpretation, you’ll learn the complete AMR analysis workflow through step-by-step demonstrations and hands-on projects.
