Dr. Steve Solomon and Dr. Jean Patel, Office of Antimicrobial Resistance, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
GiveWell spoke with Dr. Jean Patel and Dr. Steve Solomon as part of our shallow investigation of antimicrobial resistance. The conversation focused on: identifying the magnitude of the risk of drug resistant microorganisms, understanding the factors that are shaping the development of resistance, how our scientific and political institutions are responding or could respond to this issue, and offering potential philanthropic responses to these risks.
