The Antimicrobial Pharmacodynamics and Therapeutics (APT) Group (formally known as the Centre of Excellence in Infectious Disease Research (CEIDR)) APT recognises the urgent need to develop antimicrobials to tackle emerging resistance in 'superbugs' and plans to develop a programme in the Liverpool City Region that tackles the treatment of AMR. The APT Group is part of the University of Liverpool Institute of Systems, Molecular and Integrative Biology.
The Civic Data Cooperative (CDC) has been established with funding from the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority. The CDC works with organisations that want to use data about citizens to better inform decisions, policies, and new ideas, helping to improve health, well-being, and wealth across the region. CDC projects must involve the public to demonstrate transparent and trustworthy use of data. The CDC is a part of the University of Liverpool Institute of Population Health.
Pfizer Inc. is a worldwide biopharmaceutical company, focused on discovering, developing, and providing medicines and vaccines. Pfizer is interested in the development of new antibiotics and the maintenance of the effectiveness of current antibiotics by reducing the impact of AMR. Pfizer has entered into a research agreement with the University of Liverpool to consider how Smart Antimicrobial Systems (SAS) can be utilised to provide actionable information to tackle Antimicrobial Resistance. The Citizens’ Jury was partially funded by this research agreement.
The Center for New Democratic Processes (CNDP) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit civic engagement and research organization with global partners and clients. CNDP provides an interdisciplinary, customized approach to the design and implementation of deliberative processes and engagement projects. CNDP works with public, private, academic, and government partners on issues ranging from local and municipal government to federal and national policy development and guidance.
This initiative is codeveloped between Pfizer Inc, the University of Liverpool and the Centre for New Democratic Processes. Pfizer Inc. provided funding and support to the project. Pfizer Inc. collaborated with this project as it aligned closely with Pfizer’s commitment to understanding the public perception of antimicrobial stewardship and related issues.
