The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation working on Sweat-Triggered

Vaccines

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

10.05.2010

 

Foundation Funds 78 New Innovative Global Health Projects, Including

Cell Phone Blood Tests, Carnivorous Plants, and Sweat-Triggered Vaccines

Grants from 18 countries poised to help prevent and diagnose

infectious disease and promote family health

LONDON — The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation today announced 78

grants of US$100,000 each in the latest round of Grand Challenges

Explorations. Grants include the development of a low-cost cell phone

microscope to diagnose malaria, study of the strategic placement of

insect-eating plants to reduce insect-borne diseases, and investigation

of nanoparticles to release vaccines when they come in contact with

human sweat. The grants support research across 18 countries and

six continents.

“Grand Challenges Explorations continues to generate unique and

creative ways to tackle global health issues,” said Dr. Tachi Yamada,

president of the Gates Foundation’s Global Health Program. “We are

convinced that some of these ideas will lead to new innovations and

eventually solutions that will save lives.”

This year’s European grantees are based at universities, research

institutes and non-profit organizations. The winners represent groups

in Germany, Sweden, Norway and the UK.

Some examples of the breadth of projects funded this round include:

 

More effective vaccines:

 

Sweat-triggered vaccine delivery:

Carlos Alberto Guzman of the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research in

Germany with Claus-Michael Lehr and Steffi Hansen of the

Helmholtz-Institute for Pharmaceutical Research will develop

nanoparticles that penetrate the skin through hair follicles and burst

upon contact with human sweat to release vaccines.

 

A “seek-and-destroy” laser vaccine: Owain

Millington and Gail McConnell of University of Strathclyde in the

United Kingdom will use existing imaging systems to identify and

destroy Leishmania parasites with a targeted laser;

 

 

New strategies to fight malaria:

 

Insecticide-treated traditional scarves:

David Sintasath of the Malaria Consortium in Thailand will research

whether treating traditional scarves worn by migrant workers along the

Thai-Cambodia border with insecticides will reduce the rate of

drug-resistant malaria.

Cell phone microscope to diagnose malaria: Aydogan

Ozcan of the University of California, Los Angeles in the U.S. will

test a low-cost, compact cell phone microscope to diagnose malaria in

field settings.

 

 

Solutions to promote family health:

 

Ultrasound as a reversible male contraceptive: James

Tsuruta and Paul Dayton of the University of North Carolina, Chapel

Hill in the U.S. will study the ability of ultrasound to

temporarily deplete testicular sperm counts for possible use as new

contraceptive method for men.

 

Grand Challenges Explorations is a five-year, $100 million

initiative to promote innovation in global health. It is part of the

Grand Challenges in Global Health initiative which is supported by the

Gates Foundation to achieve major breakthroughs in global health.

Applications for the next round of Grand Challenges Explorations are

being accepted through May 19, 2010.

Grant application instructions, including the list of topic areas in

which proposals are currently being accepted, are available at the

Grand Challenges Explorations website: www.grandchallenges.org.
