Hurray! Since my last post, Oxford University has today announced the opening of a new Research Institute dedicated to tackling resistance to antibiotics.
Remember that this already causes 1.5 millions deaths a year worldwide and unless something is done about the overuse and misuse of antibiotics it is estimated that this will cause 10 million excess deaths per year within 30 years.
The University’s Vice Chancellor said that the Covid pandemic has shown the ‘high cost of ignoring something that is likely to head our way’.
So a huge welcome to this investment from Ineos and to Oxford University for speaking for me!
