The Stuart B. Levy Center for Integrated Management of Antimicrobial Resistance is a center for research and education focusing on pathogens that exhibit antimicrobial resistance located at Tufts University and Tufts Medical Center.[1]

History

Tufts University and the Tufts Medical Center founded the Center for Integrated Management of Antimicrobial Resistance (CIMAR) in 2018. The CIMAR was established in order to provide a response to "superbug" epidemics.[2] The founding co-directors of the center were Helen Boucher and Ralph Isberg.[2][3] The center was renamed in honor of Stuart B. Levy in 2020.[4][5] Researchers associated with the Levy CIMAR include Maya Nadimpalli.[6]
