Maartens role in the Masterclass

As an ‘AMR generalist’ Maarten will introduce the topic of Antimicrobial  resistance (AMR) as well as the different, international experts involved in the Masterclass. By daily monitoring the worldwide developments related to AMR and by selecting key news items for posting on the AMR Insights news page Maarten is up to date like no other.

Maarten is committed to eliminating antimicrobial resistance, because he does not accept that millions of innocent people need to die as a result of resistant bacteria and other microorganisms. His mission is to save lives by increasing awareness, informing and connecting people.
