IRD is a multidisciplinary French public research organization committed to equitable partnerships with countries in the Global South and in the French overseas territories for nearly 80 years. As a contributor to the achievement of the international development agenda, the IRD aligns its priorities with the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Together, scientists and the Institute’s partners propose concrete solutions to the global challenges facing societies and the planet. This win-win relationship makes science and innovation major levers for development.
IRD is the coordinator of the project. IRD will contribute its background knowledge on the function and mechanistic underpinning of the vaccine target. Technically, IRD will identify the antigens and deploy a rational and progressive strategy to develop the vaccine candidate.
