Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens global health when bacteria stop responding to antibiotics.

In remote Himalayan regions of Nepal, yaks are vital for local livelihoods, yet crossbreeding with cattle – where antibiotics use is common – may help spread resistant germs.

Join an international team from the Research Institute for Bioscience and Biotechnology in Nepal and the University of Edinburgh to explore this urgent issue, its implications for yak milk safety, and the challenges of conducting science in the Sagarmatha (Mt. Everest) National Park.

The researchers from Research Institute for Bioscience and Biotechnology will be joining live from Nepal by video link.
