ID pharmacy (Infectious Insights: Pharmacy at the frontlines of resistance)
Wednesday, 8 October, 2025

In this episode, we are joined by Nikhil Samuel, Antimicrobial Stewardship Pharmacist and PhD Candidate at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne, and Associate Professor Cornelia Landersdorfer, expert in Antimicrobial Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics and Dosage Optimisation at the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences.This episode explores the complexity of infectious diseases pharmacy, highlighting the three-way interaction between drug, patient, and pathogen. Experts discuss how pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) guide optimal dosing, especially in critically ill and immunocompromised patients. They share real-world examples of pharmacist-led interventions and the growing role of precision dosing and antimicrobial stewardship. The episode encourages students to pursue research opportunities and collaborate across disciplines to combat antimicrobial resistance.Visit our website to find all the platforms we're on!https://doseofpharma.wordpress.com/Riviera by Smith The Mister https://smiththemister.bandcamp.com Smith The Mister https://bit.ly/Smith-The-Mister-YT Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/al-riviera Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/qonPqql2sP0
