The Global effects of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) are well documented, but reliable estimates of the true burden are scarce. The AMR challenges are numerous and complex, but Evotec are confronting the renewed challenge with innovative thinking, creativity and novel approaches in both target and technology.
In this webcast we outline our most recent work in antibacterial discovery, combining innovation, integration and efficiency with operation excellence to develop leading edge platforms:
- The application of machine learning to optimise chemical matter - combining biological data, medical chemistry expertise and a deep learning approach
- The Vivo Mimetic Media (VMM) concept for discovering novel Gram Negative antibacterials
- The use of luminescent or fluorescent bacteria in PD models
- The In vitro PK/PD Hollow Fibre Infection Model, providing an understanding of the effect of drug treatment on a chosen microbial population
