There are 5 Working Groups. Please click on one of the working Groups.
  • Working Group 1
    Development of a multiplexed flow array for the simultaneous detection of different pathogenic agents and/or pathogens products.
  • Working Group 2
    Preparation of antibodies against relevant biological targets including microorganisms, biotoxins and proteins. This will allow full characterization of the microorganisms antigenic properties.
  • Working Group 3
    To identify unique proteins as well as glycans from microorganisms as candidate molecules for use in detection/diagnosis, therapy and prophylaxis.
  • Working Group 4
    Preparation of DNA fragments representing whole genomes and specific parts of genomes from microorganisms for use in micro-arrays. Analysis DNA fragments by sequence analysis. Cloning ORFs of interest in expression vectors.
  • Working Group 5
    Selection of a range of pathogens, including multiple strains of each species. Inactivated material such as DNA/RNA (genomic research), cell-free extracts (antigenicity and proteomics) will be prepared. To definition the taxonomical relations between the closely related microorganisms. To develop primers to allow random amplification of viral RNA from a mammalian RNA background.
