Market Hypothesis

39 Million

total deaths projected by 2050 caused by AMR.

$100 trillion

of cumulative cost AMR may cost to the global economy.

< 1 %

of Global Infectious Disease R&D Funding Allocated to AMR.

With <1% of R&D funds, AMR is neglected. MicroDAO fuels innovation via a self-sustaining model where ecosystem activity generates funding for research into next-gen AMR solutions.


Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health crisis rooted in the biological evolution of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that develop resistance to drugs meant to eliminate them. ...

Research Focus Areas
Predict & Validate

Predict & Validate

This area integrates predictive modeling and real-world surveillance to forecast and validate antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Using genomic, clinical, and environmental data across sectors, it identifies emerging trends, resistance hotspots, and supports timely, evidence-based responses. In addition to this, it performs experiments and collects data to validate the predictions to ensure a clear understanding of the impact of resistance


Prevent

Prevent

This area will focus on the development of interventions to reduce the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This includes strategies for antimicrobial stewardship, infection prevention and control, and behavior change, as well as tools to assess and enhance the implementation and impact of these interventions.


Cure

Cure

Cure will build on insights from prediction, validation, and prevention efforts to develop economic models and tools that guide cost-effective AMR interventions. It will also accelerate R&D of vaccines, diagnostics, and antimicrobials, supporting sustainable, evidence-informed treatment strategies.
