Uppsala University has been granted an incredible 48 million SEK as part of Sweden’s national program. This substantial amount will support 14 innovative research projects to tackle the world’s issue of antibiotic resistance. These projects will explore essential themes of resistance mechanisms, development of diagnostics tools and address emerging public health challenges posed by AMR. This funding strengthens Uppsala University as one of the leading universities in health and life sciences research. Uppsala remains the protector of public health and an advocate of one of the most significant problems of modern healthcare.
