Within the framework of the GO-Bio initial programme innovative project ideas have already been realized successfully:
Antibiotics are undisputedly one of the greatest achievements of medicine. Unfortunately, many gram-negative pathogens have already developed resistance to most antibiotics, and in some cases to all antibiotics in clinical use.
Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease transmitted by sand flies, which is fatal in most cases if left untreated. It is endemic in about 60 countries and is spreading further north in the course of climatic changes and the associated spread of mosquitoes from tropical and subtropical areas. Infected dogs also represent a large reservoir of the pathogen.
