Establishment of Rapid Diagnostic Tools for Tuberculosis and Typansomiasis and Screening of Candidate Compounds for Typanosomiasis

Project NameEstablishment of Rapid Diagnostic Tools for Tuberculosis and Typansomiasis and Screening of Candidate Compounds for Typanosomiasis
SchemeScience Technical Cooperation
Project PeriodNovember 2009 to November 2013
Implementing AgencyUniversity Teaching Hospital (UTH)
School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Zambia (UNZA-VET)
Target AreasWhole country
Target GroupsApproximately 20 researchers
PurposeResearch and development capacity of Zambia research institutes for rapid diagnostic tools and screening of candidate compounds for new drugs for trypanosomiasis are improved through collaborative research activities with Japanese research institutes.
Activities
  • Rapid diagnostic tools including drug susceptibility test for tuberculosis are developed as methods for practical use in laboratories in Zambia
  • A rapid diagnostic tool for trypanosomiasis is developed as a method for practical use in laboratories in Zambia
  • Candidate compoinds for non-clinical trials are produced with diversity-oriented synthesis method for trypanosomiasis
  • Research systems for the development of rapid diagnostic systems for tuberculosis and trypanosomiasis and screening of compounds for new drugs for trypanosomiasis are streamlined
