Joint European program targets novel antibiotic
More than 30 European universities and companies, led by UK pharma major GlaxoSmithKline (LSE: GSK) and Uppsala University in Sweden, are joining forces in a 85 million euro ($115.4 million) six-year program funded by the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) to develop novel antibiotics against Gram-negative pathogens in a project called ENABLE (European Gram Negative Antibacterial Engine).
