Among them the European project Berenice stands out, which is looking for a more efficient and less toxic medicine for Chagas disease using nanotechnology. He has been working in Africa (Angola) many times and he has built up a strong relationship with the Hospital Nostra Senhora da Paz de Cubal.

Dr. Benito Almirante, head of the research group in Infectious Diseases at VHIR, moderated a panel session on bacterial resistance, where Dr. Maria Nieves Larrossa, researcher from the group of Microbiology at VHIR, participated. The main points of the Day were, first, the advances intended to have faster methodology for the diagnosis of the antibiotics’ resistance and sensibility (to be able to choose the best antibiotic in each case) and the review of the most important problems caused by antibiotics’ resistance. In the other hand, the Day was also focused on the use of antibacterial medicines in primary health care centers and the transversal programs for the good use of the antibiotics that are prepared for Hospitals.
