Exactly. We can manage the risk of resistance but not eliminate it! Exactly why we need to continue to invest into new solutions for tackling AMR!!

We can’t rely on antibiotics alone to fix AMR.

Since 1990, nearly 80% of major drug companies have scaled back or abandoned antibiotic research.

It’s time to rethink how we fund and accelerate innovation against resistant infections.

🦠 Hello Micronauts! Did You Know?
Candida auris (C. auris) isn’t your typical fungus, it’s a silent hospital invader.
First identified in 2009, this yeast 🧬 can survive for weeks on surfaces, spread easily in healthcare settings, and resist multiple antifungal treatments.πŸ‘‡ {A thread}

🧬 Hello Micronauts! Did You Know?

Staphylococcus aureus (often just called β€œstaph”) lives harmlessly in the nose or on the skin of 30% of people, but when it becomes methicillin-resistant (MRSA), it can resist multiple antibiotics making infections far harder to treat. #Athread

With a new enzyme for cell wall synthesis and an alternative cell division mechanism, mrsa has become highly resistant to antimicrobials

targetting these mechanisms can unlock new antimicrobials to tackle mrsa causes infections

Why AMR Innovation Needs New Funding Models, and How Web3 Can Help In our earlier posts, we introduced MicroDAO’s vision: to build a new, decentralised infrastructure for tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR), one of the most urgent and complex global health…

πŸ’‘ AMR is one of the most urgent health threats today; broken funding systems slow innovation.

MicroDAO is rethinking the model:
βœ… Decentralised fundraising
βœ… Transparent incentives
βœ… Global participation

Science needs new infrastructure. 🌍🧠

🌐 The future of science is changing.

DAOs: Decentralized Autonomous Organizations are global, community-powered networks.
πŸ‘₯ Members fund & govern projects collectively
πŸ“œ Decisions are transparent & on-chain
🌍 Borderless by design
Think of them as digital cooperatives for big challenges.
