Investment thesis
The AMR Action Fund focuses on combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by investing in biotech companies developing treatments for patients suffering from life-threatening antimicrobial-resistant infections, with a stated goal of enabling 2 to 4 novel antibiotics by 2030. Beyond capital, the fund works to build partnerships that create a sustainable innovation ecosystem so new treatments continue to evolve alongside the AMR threat, and it advocates for market reforms and policy solutions that change how society values these lifesaving drugs.
