Liverpool hosts Fleming Fund Fellows from Nigeria and Sierra Leone
The University of Liverpool, one of CAMO-Net UK's sites, is currently hosting seventeen Fleming Fund Fellows from Nigeria and Sierra Leone. The Fellows, leading experts on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in their countries, have joined the University for an intensive programme designed to strengthen AMR surveillance and research capacity. Their visit, part of the Fleming Fund Fellowship Scheme, will provide hands-on training, mentorship, and collaboration opportunities with UK experts.
