Posted by Vanessa Moseley
18 November 2024Fifteen projects designed to reduce the growing global threat of antifungal drug resistance in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have received UK government funding via the University of Exeter’s FAILSAFE project.
FAILSAFE (Fungal AMR Innovations for LMICS: Solutions and Access For Everyone), is managed by the University of Exeter’s MRC Centre for Medical Mycology, in partnership with the UK Department of Health and Social Care’s Global AMR Innovation Fund (GAMRIF). GAMRIF is a One Health UK aid fund that supports research and development around the world to reduce the threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in humans, animals and the environment for the benefit of people in LMICs.
In its first wave of funding awards, announced in World AMR Awareness Week this week, FAILSAFE has approved grants to support the work of 78 researchers from 13 countries, aiming to accelerate solutions for a global problem which has a particular impact in LMICs.
