About AMiCI

The path towards the development of the AMC innovation involves the following:

Needs:

There are challenges globally with microorganisms developing antimicrobial resistance. This is especially problematic in healthcare, including hospitals.

Solutions:

Technological advances in materials science has resulted in antimicrobial coatings (AMCs) that might help prevent and control this microbes.

Providers:

For these innovations to be used widely, companies must effectively develop, test, manufacture and distribute AMCs in large volumes at a price that is acceptable to budget managers.

Support and Guidance:

Members of the AMiCI Consortium offer a readily-accessible platform whereby AMC innovators can benefit from expert knowledge of AMCs, from invention to disposal. This includes microbiology, biochemistry & chemistry, entrepreneurship, intellectual property management strategies, laboratory testing, real-world testing, environmental monitoring, and regulatory affairs support.
