HIV/AIDS and malaria remain major public health problems worldwide.


TORONTO (PRWEB)

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that: 2.3 million people living with HIV in the WHO European Region have been infected with the virus over the past 40 years; In 2021, nearly 80 percent of all deaths were due to malaria in the WHO African Region.

These numbers indicate that HIV/AIDS and malaria remain major public health problems worldwide.

In this webinar, attendees will learn about the strategic potential of humanized mice in the search for treatments for these infections.

In the first part, featured speaker Dr. Sebastien Tabruyn, will discuss how the human immune system responds to infection in a humanized CD34-NCG mouse model, the preclinical analysis toolkit of the HIV platform and how the humanized model allows for the evaluation of drug candidates, especially for infectious diseases.

In the second part, featured speaker Dr. Iñigo Angulo-Barturen, will discuss the humanized Plasmodium falciparum mouse model for the study of human malaria and in vivo evaluation of new antimalarial drugs. He will present the characteristics of the humanized P. falciparum asexual blood stage (ABS) mouse models available at the drug discovery company TAD, their use as tools to study the development of resistance during suboptimal treatment regimens and the efficacy of monoclonal antibodies and drugs against susceptible and resistant strains.

Register today to find out how humanized mice models can accelerate preclinical studies in infectious diseases such as malaria and HIV.

Join Dr. Sebastien Tabruyn, PhD CSO, TransCure bioServices; and Iñigo Angulo-Barturen, PhD, CEO, The Art of Discovery SL, for the live webinar on Tuesday, April 25, 2023, at 11am EDT (5pm CEST/EU-Central).
