We have a winner!

Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest challenges of our era and is ripe for innovation. By 2050 it is predicted antibiotic resistant infections will cause 10m deaths annually. Following a decade of developments, and entries from more than 250 teams around the world, Challenge Works is proud to announce that the £8m Longitude Prize on AMR has been won.

The game-changing solution is a novel point-of-care diagnostic test that rapidly and accurately identify the presence of a bacterial infection and the right antibiotic to prescribe.
