WHO priority pathogen list for R&D published

The WHO priority pathogen list for R&D was recently published. I contributed my R&D expertise to this intense work. The list should prioritise and guide R&D of new antibiotics, as part of WHO’s efforts to address growing global resistance to antimicrobial drugs. The process was based on collecting all available evidence to develop criteria that were used in a multi-criteria decision analysis technique vetted by a group of international experts.

The list is an important step to spur governments to put in place policies that incentivize basic science and R&D by both publicly funded agencies and the private sector investing in new antibiotic discovery.
