In the Medical News and Perspectives section of JAMA (Published Online: 28 February 2025. doi:10.1001/jama.2024.28174), Kate Schweitzer has interviewed Anita Shukla, PhD, the Elaine I Savage Professor of Engineering at Brown University, whose research has focused on designing responsive, targeted biomaterials for applications in drug delivery. She is chair of the Engineering Research Visioning Alliance (ERVA). They were discussing a recent report from ERVA (https://www.ervacommunity.org/visioning-report/report-amr/) which looked at engineering opportunities to combat AMR. They have focused on engineering-directed research and technologies aiming to …
