Booth #1
The À¦°óSMÉçÇø AMR Centre is proud to host EDAR7 and welcomes the AMR community to a rich program of scientific presentations, workshops and plenaries. The centre brings together a diverse scientific community that spans multiple faculties, campuses and affiliated research institutes, with expertise across the biomedical, engineering, animal, natural and social sciences. Our goal is to harness the expertise and creativity of our researchers to address AMR challenges and priorities through interdisciplinary research and education. We strive to foster collaborations, contribute to local and global leadership, and enhance training opportunities.
Booth #6
Aquagenx manufactures and distributes simple water quality field test kits. Our AMR ESBL E. coli test kits provide MPN or CFU test results for ESBL E. coli in 100 mL samples. They demonstrate excellent correlation to standard culture-based methods in the WHO Tricycle Protocol. No labs, electricity, highly trained analysts, media preparation or membrane filtration equipment are required.
We specialize in water quality tests that are easy for anyone to use for field testing in low resource areas. Our products include microbiological, chemical, and physical test kits.
Our Chief Science Officer and Co-Founder is Dr. Mark D. Sobsey, who invented the Aquagenx Compartment Bag Test for E. coli. He is an international authority in environmental health microbiology and virology, and in water, sanitation, and hygiene.
Aquagenx is based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina USA. Since 2013, we have shipped hundreds of thousands of tests that are used in over 120 countries.
Booth #7
The Centre d’expertise et de services Génome Québec (CES) offers provide reliable and comprehensive high-quality services to the Québec, Canadian and international scientific community and has become a resource for research initiatives in human health, forestry, infectious diseases, agriculture and sustainable development. Ambitious projects in recent years are a testimony of the ability of Génome Québec to provide data of exceptional quality in the pursuit of various genomics studies. The CES provides complete DNA and RNA analysis services. Large-scale genomics services at the CES are articulated around sequencing, genotyping and nucleic acid extraction supported by a solid infrastructure, tools (Nanuq) and unique expertise in bioinformatics.
Génome Québec’s mission is to catalyze the development and excellence of genomics research and promote its integration and democratization. It is a pillar of the Québec bioeconomy and contributes to Québec’s influence and its social and sustainable development.
