Lead Developer ASTapp M/F
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organization created in 1971 that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, healthcare exclusion and natural disasters. MSF offers assistance to people based only on need and irrespective of race, religion, gender or political affiliation. The French section is present in around thirty countries.

ContextMSF Foundation is a specialized entity created by Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) dedicated to medical innovation targeting underserved patients and contexts. Ongoing projects include the use of 3D printing to create customized prosthetics and the development of a machine learning-powered smartphone app to streamline and automate antibiotic susceptibility testing.
The project -and its corresponding “ASTApp”- will contribute to the fight against antibiotic resistance, a major public-health concern projected to cause 10M deaths per year by 2050.
