Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a growing global health crisis, is driven not only by clinical misuse of antibiotics but also by widespread reservoirs of resistance genes within environmental microbial communities. These environmental sources can serve as reservoirs for resistance genes, which can in turn be acquired by pathogens, accelerating the spread of multidrug resistance and complicating treatment strategies. In this talk, Smruthi Karthikeyan, Gordon and Carol Treweek Assistant Professor of Environmental Science and Engineering and William H. Hurt Scholar, will discuss how antimicrobial resistance genes can “jump” across species in natural microbial communities, and how looking at our sewers can provide clues for developing therapeutics to combat the AMR crisis.

Thomas F. Rosenbaum, the ninth president of Caltech, will retire on June 30, 2026, after 12 years in the position. He will remain at the Institute as a member of the faculty. Rosenbaum assumed office on July 1, 2014, and served two full terms as Caltech's president. At the request of the Caltech Board of Trustees, in 2023 he agreed to serve part of a third term, planning to end his tenure at the end of the 2025–26 academic year. In publicly announcing this plan, Rosenbaum positions the Board and the Institute's faculty to begin the Institute's next presidential search, details of which will be announced next week.
