- Start of project: 01/01/2024
- End of project: 31/12/2026
- Principal Investigator: Iker Agirregomoskorta
- Funder: Interreg POCTEFA 2021-2027 programme
- Reference: EFA115/01
- Budget: 466.269,77 € (65% financed)
- Partners: IRTA-CRESA, UAB, ANSES and ENVT (if we just put acronyms, all the better)
- Web: www.innotub.eu
General objective:
To consolidate and extend the cross-border multidisciplinary R+D+i network INNOTUB with the aim of joining efforts by creating synergies between important actors in the trans-Pyrenean region competent in the problem in order to generate greater knowledge and develop innovative tools that provide solutions.
Specific objectives:
- Validation of 3 diagnostic tests (3 qPCRs) for the detection and identification of tuberculous and non-tuberculous mycobacteria.
- To develop a novel diagnostic test (digital PCR) to quantify the M. tuberculosis complex bacteria present in animal and environmental samples.
- Develop and evaluate new tuberculosis vaccines and delivery modes.
