Professor Colin Garner, Chief Executive said ‘2018 was a year of outstanding progress for Antibiotic Research UK. The charity formed in mid-2014 is punching far above its weight in terms of its impact. By being a virtual organisation with consultants rather than employees and no bricks and mortar offices or labs we can ensure that more of your donation goes towards our mission of research, education and patient support,.
