EU Horizon 2020 – MISTRAL

AELIX is an active partner in the international Consortium of the MISTRAL project, funded within the framework of European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme with a Grant Agreement number 847943. The MISTRAL project is exploring the gut microbiota in relation to HIV-1, seeking microbiome biomarkers to support development of interventions that mitigate infection and enhance response to vaccines and therapies. In addition, the creation of a publicly accessible database will aid inpatient screening and stratification. A cloud-based tool will also facilitate microbiome interpretation for reseach and clinical purposes. MISTRAL LINK:
