UKRI Stories | A booster shot for the medical and pharmaceutical sector in North-west England @UKResearchandInnovation | Uploaded August 2021 | Updated October 2024, 19 minutes ago.
The iiCON Infection Innovation Consortium is creating specialist, commercially sustainable research platforms for infectious #disease therapeutics in north-west England.
The need for #InfectiousDisease control remains high in the UK and internationally, with #Covid19, #AntiMicrobialResistance, hospital-acquired infections, #Zika, #Ebola, #TB, #malaria and #HIV still prevalent.
Based in the #Liverpool City Region and #Cheshire and #Warrington, the project will transform product discovery and development, and help products go from lab to patients faster, cheaper and in more effective formats.
It is led by Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and builds on #research and #innovation excellence in #NWEngland. iiCON will generate hundreds of #jobs in the area, and attract substantive international investment to boost the local economy.
And it’s supported by £19 million from our #StrengthInPlaces Fund. #medicine #InvestingForImpact
