Anthelmintic Research and Optimization (A-HERO)
Start date: May 1, 2014, End date: Apr 30, 2019,
"I propose an ambitious, yet feasible 5-year research project that will fill an important gap in global health. Specifically, I will develop and validate novel approaches for anthelmintic drug discovery and development. My proposal pursues the following five research questions: (i) Is a chip calorimeter suitable for high-throughput screening in anthelmintic drug discovery? (ii) Is combination chem ...

Compensatory Evolution and Epistasis in Multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (EVODRTB)
Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2018,
"Multidrug-resistant bacteria are a global threat to public health and the economy. Studies in model organisms suggest compensatory evolution and epistatic interactions between drug resistance-conferring mutations are important drivers of drug resistance. However, the relevance of these factors for the emergence and transmission of human pathogenic bacteria has not been established. To bridge the ...

Training of the One Health Next Scientific Generation in the Sahel and Maghreb (OH-NEXTGEN)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
Humans and animals living in poor communities in the developing world often suffer from health problems arising from neglected zoonoses. Control options for these diseases are perceived as either too expensive or to be beyond the mandate of either the human or animal health systems. There is evidence that zoonoses in humans can be suppressed or even eliminated through interventions in animals. Mor ...

Identification and development of vaccine candidates for Buruli Ulcer Disease (BuruliVac)
Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2013,
Buruli ulcer disease (BUD), caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans, is a neglected bacterial infection of the poor in remote rural areas, mostly affecting children. BUD, the third most common mycobacterial disease in immunocompetent humans after tuberculosis and leprosy, is most endemic in West Africa, but cases have been reported from more than 30 countries. BUD is a mutilating disease leading to sever ...
