In the frame of World Antimicrobial Resistant Awareness Week, We are thrilled to announce our most recent award Funded by UKRI and supported by iiCON: Infection Innovation Consortium. This award will allow us to perform a feasibility pilot study of our prototype, InfectiScanTM, developed thanks to Innovate UK ICURe award. We worked hard to have a successful outcome, and we are rather excited to collaborate with Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, specifically with Dr Thomas Edwards and supported by Boleslaw Charles W.. We believe that with InfectiScanTM we can change the way primary care providers are prescribing antibiotics, which translates in a better life quality for YOU who are reading this. We deserve appropriate antimicrobial test and treatments, and CCI Photonics is here to provide that.

After successful sandpit events in Liverpool and London earlier this year, iiCON (Infection Innovation Consortium) is excited to announce 11 innovative projects as part of #WorldAntimicrobialResistanceAwarenessWeek. These projects are focused on combating infectious diseases and have received a share of £1.5 million in funding from UK Research and Innovation as part of its ongoing work to support innovative ways of tackling infections. The projects include: - Development of a scalable blood test to determine heterosubtypic immunity to avian influenza - Use of novel technologies to tackle infections: a one stop sputum-free diagnosis for Tuberculosis - An open innovation network to drive the commercialisation of microbiome research - Improving knowledge of antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance in migrant, refugee, and asylum seeker populations in Liverpool through community-based participatory research - InfectiScan™: Pioneering rapid diagnosis of antimicrobial resistance in bodily fluid samples - A feasibility pilot study - From Theory to Practice: Mathematical approaches to disrupt infectious disease transmission - Developing a robust self-disinfecting coating to reduce transmission of pathogens via touch surfaces in hospitals and beyond - Rational engineering of inorganic crystals as novel therapeutics to induce antimicrobial activity in host cells - Efficacy of nitric oxide releasing coatings and fibres against the monkeypox virus - The comprehensive understanding of disease and AI research (CURE) project - Infection model based on multi-layer vascularised skin-on-a-chip for the evaluation of antibacterial products You can find out more about the 11 projects here: https://lnkd.in/esGPuMY2 #WorldAntimicrobialResistanceAwarenessWeek #WAAW2024 #AMR #AntimicrobialResistance ImmunoServ, LYVA Labs, CCI Photonics, University of Stirling, University of Bristol, iuvantium, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, St George's, University of London, University of Liverpool, UK Research and Innovation
