Motif Biosciences Unveil Novel Solutions for the Treatment Deadly Superbugs
Superbugs and Superdrugs USA
With over 15 years of clinical, academic, industry, and research experience in medicine and in the subspecialty of infectious diseases, David Huang is Chief Medical Officer at Motif Biosciences, a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company which specializes in developing novel antibiotics.
He is currently serving as an adjunct Assistant Professor at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and is well versed in the design, execution and close out of Phase I - III clinical trials for both antibacterial and antiviral agents. His research interests include bacteriology and virology, especially the epidemiology, pathogenesis and treatment of multidrug resistant organisms.
In the run-up to his presentation, SMi Group caught up with David to discuss current industry developments and his upcoming address this November.
From the answers provided, it is apparent that a lack of funding and strict regulatory requirements is still a common pitfall in the fight against AMR.
“I think industry incentives are very important and the biggest challenges (1) adequate government and non-government funding for the entire research and development of antibiotics; (2) strict and long regulatory requirements and timelines for developing and receiving approval for antibiotics for treatment of serious and life threatening infections; (3) awareness and education of the importance of addressing the prevention of selective pressure and in adequate use of antibiotics (animals feeds, improper use by healthcare providers, and use in developing countries without the need of prescriptions, and others); (4) reimbursements for antibiotics; (5) better and faster rapid diagnostics for all types of infections; and (6) increasing the prestige and compensation for microbiologists and infectious diseases care providers.” David Huang, Chief Medical Officer at Motif Biosciences.
