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.
