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.
