The demand for new #antibiotics is growing, yet discovering and bringing them to market remains challenging. Financial incentives, both "push" and "pull," are crucial for driving early research, supporting later-stage clinical development, and ensuring sustainable returns on investment. Could a Netflix-style model provide a viable solution to stimulate this early-stage research? Read it here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gachXZaT #amr #antimicrobialresistance #research

📢 Attention Phage Therapy Community! The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has released a new funding opportunity: RFA-AI-24-069. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications to establish Centers for Accelerating Phage Therapy to Combat ESKAPE Pathogens (CAPT-CEP). The CAPT-CEPs aim to drive forward phage therapy by developing essential preclinical assays, tools, and models, with a strong focus on advancing clinical research in this promising area. 🗓 Application Deadline: January 28, 2025 📬 Important: Letters of intent are due 30 days before the deadline.

Thank you, Guillermo Tramontin, for mentioning INCATE! This partnership with Cavenagh Health reflects a shared commitment to tackling one of today’s most critical health threats: Antimicrobial Resistance (#AMR). Cavenagh Health brings exceptional expertise in advancing life sciences innovation. Together, we're building more than just talented teams — we're creating the networks, resources, and strategies needed to drive lasting impact. The white paper, "Beyond Antibiotics: The Reckoning of Antimicrobial Resistance, A New Biological Frontier," gathers insights from leading biotechs, innovators, and pharmaceutical companies. It’s a powerful call to action for our society and the key stakeholders who can help turn the tide on AMR. #antibiotics #phages #antimicrobialresistance

🚀 INCATE Entrepreneurs Club #4: "It’s Never Too Early to Speak to a Regulator" Are you navigating the complexities of AMR innovation and wondering when to start discussions with regulators? Join our 4th Entrepreneurs Club where we will discuss about the importance of regulatory guidance from the earliest stages of development. This session will bring together experts and entrepreneurs who have successfully collaborated with regulatory bodies. Don't miss out the opportunity to learn best practices, ask questions, and make connections to help bring your AMR innovation to market. 📅 November 19th 2024  🕔 5pm 📍 Online Sign up here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e_c54PzZ #webinar #regulatory #entrepreneurship #antimicrobialresistance

As a part of our World Phage Week celebration, we would like to share a recent scientific publication featuring our colleague Mercedes Gonzalez Moreno as co-author, along with other esteemed colleagues and mentors. The study highlights a significant advancement in #bacteriophage research, showcasing how phages can be "trained" to enhance their infectivity through an evolutionary platform targeting biofilm-forming bacteria.

Did you know that today, October 22nd, is World Phage Day? This day also marks the beginning of World Phage Week (October 22nd-28th), dedicated to raising awareness about the life-saving potential of #bacteriophages. These naturally occurring viruses specifically target and destroy harmful bacteria, making them a powerful tool in fighting infections. Despite their potency against bacteria, #phages are safe for humans, animals, and the environment and are among the most abundant organisms on Earth. At INCATE, we are proud to support six incredible phage-focused ventures, with even more in the pipeline. We are proud to continue supporting these groundbreaking therapies, as we strongly believe in their potential to transform healthcare. Congratulations to Kinzbio, Fagoterapia LAB S.r.l., OSPT Ltd, Invitris, PHIOGEN, and PhageOne. Keep up the amazing work! #WorldPhageDay #WorldPhageWeek #PhageTherapy
