What is Syncell?
Reinventing, designing and developing new alternatives to fight the most concerning healthcare problems by using bacteria as biofactories of nanomaterials with biomedical applications
What are we fighting against?
What is AMR?
ntimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a phenomenon that happens when microorganisms, especially bacteria, develop resistance to the drugs that are supposed to kill them, no longer responding to treatment.
AMR is now recognised as one of the most serious global threats. In fact, it is continuosly increasing and spreading worldwide. Without effective antibiotics, most medical practices will be less safe, and even minor infections could prove fatal.
What is Chemotherapy Resistance?
nherapy resistance in cancer is a phenomenon that happen when tumors that have been responding to a therapy suddenly begin to grow. In other words, the cancer cells are resisting the effects of the treatments.
AMR Drug resistance is not just the only issue, in fact some form of resistance has been observed for almost every form of therapy developed for treating cancer. Resistance can take several forms, including mutations that stop the drug from binding to its target, amplification of proteins that compensate for the loss of the target, or via activation of other biological mechanisms.
