Science, research, sustainability and equality are our guiding principles and influence all areas of our work. We aim to develop effective treatments that are sustainable for both patients and the wider world.
For Gedea Biotech, sustainability is a core activity – not posturing. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), antibiotic resistance is a growing problem and one of the biggest threats to global public health. Our business concept is to create an antibiotic-free treatment for infections that works for as many people as possible. Clinical trials are currently ongoing and we are gearing up for a product launch. Everything points to pHyph having the potential to make a real impact on a market with a high medical need.
