Startup based in Barcelona, ​​we are looking to find a partner in a study on the leishmanicidal efficacy of a new product on the market. It is a molecule that has been shown to be effective in in vitro studies, and a clear effect has been determined in patients in whom the product was tested. In addition, this molecule is an immune stimulator, which makes it a strong candidate for an innovative treatment of this parasitic disease.

The project is defined and only part of the financing is missing. In the case of being interested, we would explain in depth what it consists of and we would open a collaboration window according to the interests of the partner.

For more information, you can contact me directly: Lourdes 660587453

The overarching goal of the project is to define, validate and apply a standardised workflow (experimental and computational) for deriving reliable human reference points and HBGVs using cutting edge in-vitro approaches, namely organ-on-a-chip (OoC) platforms and multiple OMICs endpoints (transcriptomics, metabolomics, epigenomics).

Estimated total value 3.250.000.00 euros.

Time limit for receipt of tenders 15/06/2022.

The SILPROVET project plans to respond to the market´s necessity, proposing an alternative to both antibiotics and ZnO in, but not restricted to, the pig production industry. SILPROVET employs a highly innovative patented technology based on the use of silver nanoparticles. This solution provides a better antimicrobial action than other alternatives, as well as a very low cytotoxicity. Additionally, the nanoparticle technology used enables a reduction in dosage, reducing toxicity and side effects. Apart from being an environmentally friendly product, these characteristics make SILPROVET a very promising technology platform as a new class of veterinary antimicrobial in substitution of antibiotics and ZnO (permitted use until June 2022).

KBBE.2013.1.3.-05: Ecology of drug resistant bacteria and transfer of antimicrobial resistance throughout the food chain.

The previous group experience is in understanding the role of IncH plasmids in Salmonella biology. IncH plasmids are abundant within S. typhi strains (about 50% of them harbor these plasmids) and account for most of the multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotypes of plasmid origin in this microorganism. In the recent past, the group has studied the regulation of the temperature-dependent conjugation of these plasmids, as well as the role of a global modulator encoded by the IncH plasmid R27, the H-NS protein. Recent data, yet unpublished, evidence that these plasmids strongly modify the global transcriptome of the host strain, modifying thus fitness. We propose identifying the modulators that facilitate plasmid-chromosome cross-talk. Interfering with these modulators might thus alter plasmid-chromosome cross-talk and hence reduce fitness of these strains, making them more sensitive to the host defenses, or leading to plasmid loss which, in turn, results in loss of the MDR phenotype.
