The VIO platform of drugs targets NQR, a protein that is present in over 100 pathogenic bacterial species found in humans, mammals, and fish. It is a novel lens through which to address AMR and it comes at a critical time as conventional antibiotics are becoming increasingly ineffective against infections. Learn more about our science.
