Infect-ERA

Infect-ERA

FCT is a partner in the Infect-ERA network, an ERA-NET on human pathogenic microorganisms, built on the successes and experiences of the previous PathoGenoMics (PGM) project between 2004 and 2011. However, the new network intends to broaden its scope of action to include viruses and protozoa as objects of study, rather than just bacteria and fungi as was the case in PGM. The new ERA-NET in this area is essential in order to continue the work that has already begun, without gaps in funding and in order to obtain scientific results and intellectual property, for which a period of 3 years is often not enough.
