European Research Infrastructures for Poverty Related Diseases (EURIPRED)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2017,
HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis (TB) and Malaria alone account for more than six million deaths worldwide every year. Despite substantial efforts made in recent years, Poverty Related Diseases are still spreading. New therapeutic interventions are therefore urgently required to combat Poverty Related Diseases. The existence of a well-developed HIV/TB/Malaria infrastructure presents a prime opportunity to a ...

The role of the gut in experimental visceral leishmaniasis and Chagas disease (GutTryp)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2014, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2017,
Leishmania donovani and Trypanosoma cruzi cause the neglected infectious diseases visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and Chagas disease (CD) respectively. The host normally controls the initial wave of infection but rarely, if ever, fully clears the infection. Chronic, low-level infection then often progresses to serious clinical syndromes. Infection of a limited set of favoured tissues is a parasite st ...

ASSURED Point-of-Care Device for Syphilis and HIV in Pregnant Women and New Born (PREVENTIT)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2012, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2016,
The incidence of mother to child transmission of syphilis and HIV is still increasing and these infections are major cause of early death and severe morbidity of the young infant. Most case of congenital syphilis and HIV infection occur in hard to reach populations. The availability of an affordable and patient and user friendly point-of-care test that allows same day testing and treatment would s ...

BlueGenics – From gene to bioactive product: Exploiting marine genomics for an innovative and sustainable European blue biotechnology industry (BlueGenics)
Date du début: 1 août 2012, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2016,
Marine organisms, in particular sponges and their associated microorganisms, are an inexhaustible source of novel bioactive (lead) compounds for biomedical application. Industrial exploitation of this natural resource using traditional approaches is, however, hampered, with a few exceptions, by unsolvable supply problems - despite of numerous efforts in the past. Therefore, there is, very likely, ...

"Multi-drug resistance in malaria under combination therapy: Assessment of specific markers and development of innovative, rapid and simple diagnostics." (MALACTRES)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2008, Date de fin: 30 juin 2013,
"This project aims to assess specific P. falciparum genetic markers for resistance to artemisinin-based combinations (ACT), and to develop innovative, rapid and simple diagnostics for malaria and these markers. Specific objectives are: • To develop and evaluate in disease endemic countries accurate low-tech molecular diagnostic tests. • To identify alleles of candidate resistance genes associated ...

Development of a clean and energy self-sustained building in the vision of integrating H2 economy with renewable energy sources (H2SUSBUILD)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2008, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2012,
More than 40% of the total energy consumed in the EU is used to cover the needs for heating, cooling and electricity of buildings. As the major part of this energy is produced from combustion of oil and natural gas, both the EU and the EU Building Sector are highly depended on imported fossil fuels. Moreover, the Sector is also a major contributor to Green-House Gas (GHG) emissions. To address iss ...
