CARES - Centre for Antimicrobial Research

CARES is a Dutch research initiative for antimicrobial research. We focus on the development of novel antibiotics and antimicrobials.

We bring together a number of outstanding research groups in the field of new antimicrobial molecules and clinical development. The following institutions participate in CARES:

• Leiden University
• Leiden University Medical Centre
• Groningen University
• Groningen University Medical Centre
• VU University Amsterdam
• VU University Medical Centre Amsterdam

Why CARES?
 

If we don't invest in research into antibiotics and antimicrobials, we risk moving into a "post-antibiotics era", where patients suffering from infections cannot be treated adequately.
