EUROpean consortium on NEUTralising antibodies using gp41 (EURONEUT-41)
Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2014,
There is now an increasingly solid body of scientific evidence which demonstrates that the binding of small molecular weight compounds, peptides and antibodies (Abs) to fusion-intermediate conformations of gp41 leads to an inhibition of HIV cell entry. The principal aim of this project is to exploit this information by establishing a platform where gp41-derived vaccine candidates will be designed ...

Signalling in life cycle stages of malaria parasites (MALSIG)
Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2012,
Malaria is a major public health problem in the developing world and is endemic in many regions of India. The development of novel strategies for malaria control requires a better understanding of the biology of malaria parasites. Our project aims at bringing a significant contribution to this field, through dissecting the signalling pathways that regulate essential processes in the life cycle o ...

Fighting Aneurysmal Diseases (FAD)
Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2012,
"Fighting Aneurysmal Diseases (FAD) is a public health in EU, because of the ageing population. In the absence of intervention, aneurysms evolve towards rupture and death. The translational objectives of the project are to accelerate the acquisition of knowledge, and to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic tools for FAD in humans. The project innovates by integrating two different localizations ...

LATENT TUBERCULOSIS: New tools for the detection and clearance of dormant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (STOPLATENT-TB)
Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2011,
Although the definition of latency under a clinical point of view seems clear, the bacterial biology behind that clinical situation remains poorly understood. While dormant, the tubercle bacilli are considered to be under non-replicating (NR) stage. In such a condition, bacilli are not only difficult to be detected but also refractory to the standard treatments avoiding their clearance from the in ...
