Finnish biotechnology start-up Solu has secured €1m ($1.2m) in seed funding from Lifeline Ventures and Wave Ventures to fight antibiotic resistance through building the world’s largest DNA library of pathogens. Studies show antibiotic resistance led to more than one million deaths in 2019, and caused almost five million people to die from bacterial infections resistant to antibiotics. Solu’s product can make understanding, detecting, and preventing the spread of antibiotic resistance more accessible and enable real-time monitoring for the detection of dangerous mutations. Solu aims to build the first pathogen DNA library that collects all pathogen data in real-time and can model their evolution and identify new health-threatening pathogens more effectively.
