Umeå researcher wants to save millions of lives with new antibiotics
Fredrik Almqvist, CEO of QureTech Bio based in Umeå, is among thousands of researchers hoping to draw attention to the challenges of antibiotic resistance as part of World Antibiotic Awareness Week. “It’s a problem that’s comparable to the climate crisis. We have to find new ways to kill antibiotic resistant disease-causing bacteria so we can save millions of lives every year,” he says.
