GHTM Session 2022CCID07 » Pre-Analytical Variables and their Effects in Diagnosis – Practice Makes Perfect

GHTM Sessions 2022 CCID07 » Pre-Analytical Variables and their Effects in Diagnosis – Practice Makes Perfect

  • De: 04/05/2022
  • Até: 04/05/2022
  • Localização: ZOOM | 11h00

The increasing demand and use of high-quality samples and data place biobanks at the centre of basic and translational research. This seminar will address the importance of pre-analytical quality for sample diagnosis validation in order to help researchers meet the highest quality standards for their research.

GHTM Session 2022VBD01p » Optimising strategies for control and elimination of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs)

GHTM Sessions 2022 VBD01 » Optimising strategies for control and elimination of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs)

  • De: 14/01/2022
  • Até: 14/01/2022
  • Localização: ZOOM | 11h00

NTDs cause serious morbidity and disability, affecting 2 billion people in low- and middle-income countries. The main strategy for control of key NTDs is preventive chemotherapy (PC), the regular delivery of drugs to entire communities or specific sub-groups, such as children. PC NTDs of global importance include soil-transmitted helminths, schistosomiasis, scabies, trachoma and yaws. The Kirby’s NTD research group is leading large-scale intervention research linked to novel diagnostics, social science, health economics and mathematical modelling aiming to contribute to the control and elimination of PC NTDs in the Asia-Pacific region and Africa. The RG leader will present an overview of that research with examples including cluster randomised control trials in Vietnam, Solomon Islands and Fiji; and impact assessments of PC programs in Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Nauru, East Timor and Angola.

GHTM Session 2021VBD02p » Fiocruz’s Brazil-Portugal “Além-Mar” partnerships

GHTM Sessions 2021 VBD02 » Fiocruz’s Brazil-Portugal “Além-Mar” partnerships

  • De: 25/11/2021
  • Até: 25/11/2021
  • Localização: ZOOM | 11h00

Cooperation between R&D institutions aims to minimise existing barriers to knowledge. Also, it may provide new research approaches, able to obtain faster answers in the investigative progress, as well as varied, but integrated, Big Data training, on health, in general, and on The One Health methodology, in particular. Thus, Fiocruz reaffirms its commitment to the IHMT and other Portuguese institutions to catalyse actions aimed at prospecting areas of future interest among the “Além-Mar” institutions.

GHTM Session 2021VBD01p » Hybridisation and the emergence of Candida pathogens

GHTM Sessions 2021 VBD01 » Hybridisation and the emergence of Candida pathogens

  • De: 20/10/2021
  • Até: 20/10/2021
  • Localização: ZOOM | 11h00

Human fungal infections are a growing problem having the Candida genus among the main causes. This lecture is an overview of the comparative genomic analysis of Candida pathogens, focusing on hybrid lineages and their evolution, addressing i) how spread are hybrids among Candida species, ii) the processes that drive their genomes’ evolution, and iii) the role that hybridisation might have had in the emergence of C. albicans, the major Candida pathogen.
