European Gram Negative Antibacterial Engine (ENABLE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2020,

The intensive use and misuse of antibiotics has resulted in some level of antibiotic resistance in essentially all human bacterial pathogens. There is a growing concern that the loss of therapeutic options will present us with a post-antibiotic era where present and future medical advances are negated. Resistant bacteria dramatically reduce the possibilities of treating infections effectively, a ...

Interdisciplinary Training Network for Validation of Gram-Negative Antibacterial Targets (INTEGRATE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

Antimicrobial resistance is posing a continuously-rising threat to global health. Indeed, one key recommendation from the recent “Action plan against the rising threats from Antimicrobial Resistance” report (submitted by the Commission to the European Parliament and Council (15.11.2011)) is the development of effective antimicrobials or alternatives for treatment of human and animal infections. T ...

New AntiBacterials with Inhibitory activity on Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetases (NABARSI)

Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2016,

The NABARSI consortium will develop a cutting-edge drug discovery project to increase the antibacterial pipeline. The main goal of NABARSI is to find new chemical entities (NCEs) with antibacterial efficacy in animal models of multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacterial infection and to exploit the results through obtaining a co-development with industry. The NABARSI consortium consists of 5 partners: Om ...

Scientific Training in Antimicrobial Research Strategies (STARS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

Researchers who aspire to work in drug discovery need to adapt to constantly changing technology and be able to harness new tools both to ask and to answer pertinent scientific questions. Structural biology was going to rationalize drug design. Next, combinatorial chemistry was to be the industrial panacea, only to be superseded by high-throughput screening of chemical libraries. Technologies such ...
