The inter-consortium thematic group "Infectious Diseases and Antimicrobial Resistance" (ID-AMR) is structured around an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach. This group aims at addressing the global health challenges posed by infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance, critical issues particularly relevant in both France and India.Each consortium within the Campus contributes complementary expertise essential for the successful implementation of this collective effort:

coordinated by École Normale Supérieure (ENS) de Lyon and the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune, contributes fundamental expertise in microbiology, genomics, and biochemistry. This consortium notably focuses on genetic analyses of resistance and detailed characterization of microbial strains. BIOSANTEXC organizes cross-research internships, joint doctoral programs, and the creation of innovative educational tools, thus deepening the understanding of resistance mechanisms at the cellular and genomic levels.

plays a central role in scientific coordination and educational integration. With partnerships involving the University of La Réunion, Claude Bernard University Lyon 1, the University of Poitiers, the Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), the Central Institute of Medical and Aromatic Plants (CIMAP), and the Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER), ILIADE stands out for its approach to infectious diseases through the use of medicinal plants and their natural molecules as alternative strategies tocombat antimicrobial resistance. The consortium coordinates the development of a cross-disciplinary master&amp;#39;s module incorporating these themes, enriched by cross-mobility opportunities and the organization of a summer school in La Réunion in 2026.

spearheaded by Sorbonne University and the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, brings a unique clinical and translational dimension to the ID-AMR group. By engaging a robust network of leading hospital and academic institutions, Integrated Health initiates pilot trials, field epidemiological studies, and integrated public health strategies against community-acquired resistance. This consortium organizes annual workshops on integrated approaches to combating AMR, involving researchers, clinicians, and social and technological stakeholders, thereby contributing to a better understanding and management of the complex issues surrounding AMR.

led by the University Nice Côte d’Azur (UniCA) in partnership with the Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi (IIITD), Ashoka University, and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore, is distinguished by its expertise in computational sciences, artificial intelligence, and biological modeling. Within the ID-AMR framework, SHIELD develops advanced predictive models to anticipate the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance. The consortium also initiates a dual-degree program specializing in bioinformatics applied to health sciences, explicitly integrating AMR issues and regularly organizing methodological workshops on computational tools.By pooling these diverse expertises, the ID-AMR thematic group represents a structured and effective response to one of the most urgent health challenges of our time, combining high- level education, cutting-edge research, and international scientific cooperation.
