Rewiring the Streptomyces cell factory for cost-effective production of biomolecules (STREPSYNTH)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2018,

STREPSYNTH aims to set-up a Streptomyces-based new industrial production platform (SNIP) for high value added biomolecules. Streptomyces lividans was chosen as a bacterial host cell because it has been already shown to be highly efficient for the extracellular production of a number of heterologous molecules that vary chemically, has a robust tradition of industrial fermentation and is fully acces ...

Developing and Testing a novel, low-cost, effective HOOKworm VACcine to Control Human Hookworm Infection in endemic countries (HOOKVAC)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

Approximately 600-700 million people are infected by hookworm, primarily in sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. Hookworm infection ranks number one in terms of Years Lost from Disability from a neglected infectious disease, and among the top 3 in terms of lost Disability-Adjusted Life Years. HOOKVAC will be developing the first and only vaccine for human hookworm infection. A ...

InFLUenza virus UNIVersal VACcine development program (FLUNIVAC)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

Effectively protecting the general population from seasonal and pandemic influenza has proven to be a challenge, since influenza viruses continue to escape from and evade immunity. Current influenza vaccines fail to provide long-lasting and broad protection against multiple strains of influenza. For the development of a universal influenza vaccine, we have to “do better than Nature”, since even na ...

Oral Vaccination against Clostridium difficile Infection (CDVAX)

Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is a major threat to public health in the industrialised world, particularly in Europe. In many EU countries C. difficile now eclipses Methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) with hospital acquired infection mortality exceeding that of MRSA by a factor of four. C. difficile is resistant to a wide range of antibiotics with hypervirulent and multiple drug resista ...

Clinical development of TA-101 for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (TA101-GOCLIN)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

The aim of TA101GOCLIN Project is to take TA101 into the clinical stage of development for rheumatoid arthritis and prepare the product for a novel mode of administration in the market of biologic therapeutics.Rheumatoid Arthritis is still today a debilitating disease with an unmet medical need for effective and reasonably priced treatments despite much effort to cure or control the disease. TA101 ...

NASAL VACCINATION AGAINST RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS IN YOUNG CHILDREN (CHILD-INNOVAC)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Feb 29, 2012,

"Respiratory infections are the most frequent cause of childhood morbidity and mortality worldwide. For many respiratory pathogens no vaccine is available, for others classical immunisations remain insufficiently effective. This project concerns the development of novel, nasal vaccines against two major respiratory pathogens, B. pertussis and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). No vaccine is yet av ...
