Nanosynex Ultra-fast Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test for diagnosing antimicrobial resistance to provide personalized antibiotic treatments

Coordinator: NANOSYNEX LTD (IL)

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), is the ability of microorganisms to resist to antibiotics treatment, contributes to 700,000 deaths a year (25,000 deaths in Europe). Besides, The financial implications of AMR proliferation are devastating for the global healthcare system. The current implementation of antimicrobial stewardship programs in hospitals has not been enough to mitigate the overuse and misuse of antibiotics. Current AST (Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing) diagnostic methods are highly accurate but take too long (a few days) forcing doctors in many case to prescribe non-personalise…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €2.6M toward a total project budget of €3.7M — a funding rate of 70%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2020-10-01 to 2025-09-30.
