📢 Meet our PACE Delivery Partners!
Innovators require support to accelerate the progress of their antimicrobial and diagnostic discovery projects. To address this, we’ve convened a Delivery Partner Network (DPN), bringing together providers to enable all aspects of outsourced project work. Members of the DPN are organisations that can help with delivery, advice and support for PACE-funded projects. Our aim is to connect the projects in our portfolio to the DPN, looking for ways in which our Partners can enable outsourced lab work, as well as provide expert consultancy in key areas.
The services offered by the DPN are also useful to innovators in the wider AMR R&D community. We have partnered with these organisations because they provide a breadth and depth of expertise that are critical to support early antimicrobial drug and diagnostic discovery. If you’re an innovator working in this space and you are looking to do some outsourced work, you can Contact Us (see link in comments) and we can facilitate introductions to DPN members of your choice.

Join ANTABIO at #ESCMIDGlobal2025 in Vienna, Austria, from April 11-15, 2025!
Discover our latest data and the exciting advancements we're making with our clinical program, #MEM_ANT3310.
#MEM_ANT3310 is being developed for the treatment of serious infections such as hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (#HABP) and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (#VABP), which can be caused by multidrug-resistant pathogens, including Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacterales (#CRE) and Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (#CRAB).
Check out the posters and presentations below, and don't hesitate to reach out to us and to our fantastic collaborators to learn more!

New news: The FDA LDT Final Rule scheduled to go into effect on May 6th has been set aside by the courts. Find the full text here (Memorandum & Opinion AND Order): https://hubs.la/Q03fd5Zj0 and here (Judgment): https://hubs.la/Q03fdnpp0.
What does that mean for LDTs? For now, it is status quo. The CLIA program retains regulation of laboratories that develop LDTs.
What you should know? Quality testing is important and legislation and regulatory ambiguity is a persistent challenge. We're here to support laboratories and manufacturers with the guidance, tools, and resources needed to ensure they are equipped for any outcome.

The World Health Organization released its first analysis of the clinical and pre-clinical antifungal pipeline, and the findings are cause for concern. They include:
-Globally, only 4 new antifungals were approved during the last 10 years
-Only 9 agents are currently in clinical development against priority fungal pathogens
- Antifungals with child-friendly formulations for pediatric use are lacking
- Fungal infections contribute to 3.8 million deaths globally each year
As our CEO Henry Skinner warned two years ago in STAT, investment in this area is sorely lacking with some estimates indicating that fungal infections receive less than 1.5% of all infectious disease research funding. In the absence of policy interventions, investment into this critical area of medicine will remain insufficient and patients will continue to suffer.
