“We are pleased to join the BEAM Alliance and strengthen our European network with the AMR community. The aims of the alliance and the pharmaceutical community are particularly synergistic with one of our core focus in infectious disease research, culminating the development of our ALS-4 and ALS-2/3 programs, to address global antimicrobial resistance against deadly bacteria such as methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (“MRSA”) and others. Being a part of the BEAM Alliance will further facilitate the exchange of information and potential establishment of collaborating partners within this AMR field and we look forward to contributing our efforts for global preparedness against AMR,” said Darren Lui, President and Executive Director of Aptorum Group.
