ZIKALLIANCE

ZIKAlliance is a multinational and multi-disciplinary research consortium coordinated by Inserm, the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research. The consortium was awarded 11,9M by the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme in October 2016, to conduct a 36-month cutting-edge research project during the ongoing outbreak of Zika virus infection (ZIKV) in Latin America and the Caribbean... "We have managed to gather a very broad range of partners whose experiences are likely to make this project a success" says de Lamballerie, adding that "rather than parachuting in external research capacity, we really aim to build something more sustainable to benefit the region for future outbreaks".
