ENABLE-2 programmes

ENABLE-2 is currently supporting eight promising programmes in the pursuit of new antibiotics. These have their scientific basis at: Technische Universität Berlin • Justus Liebig University Giessen • The Ineos Oxford Institute at the University of Oxford • Global Antibiotic R&D Partnership • University of Lille & Institut Pasteur de Lille • University of Ljubljana.
