Design of a vaccine to immunize neonates against GBS infections through a durable maternal immune response (DEVANI)
Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,
"Direct vaccination cannot prevent diseases that affect neonates in the first days of life. Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is the major cause of neonatal septicemia and meningitis affecting up to one in every thousand live births.

A new platform for fast molecular detection of MDR and XDR resistant strains of M. tuberculosis and of drug resistant malaria (TM-REST)
Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,
"Recent developments in molecular tools combined with updated epidemiological data provide novel challenges to the development of modern molecular diagnostics. The increasing threat of infections due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, including multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) infections poses important questions that call for development of integrated tools for rapid dia ...
