Iranian Technologists Called to Produce Rapid Molecular Detection Kits for HIV
Submitted ideas are examined by judges to verify the scientific and technical competence of the research team to ensure that the teams have experience in the field of research, development and production of laboratory kits.
The ability to prepare the required infrastructure and produce a prototype under standard laboratory conditions is one of the other reviews of the jury in this call.
The teams have time until mid October to send their proposals.
The human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) are two species of Lentivirus (a subgroup of retrovirus) that infect humans.
Over time, they cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a condition in which progressive failure of the immune system allows life-threatening opportunistic infections and cancers to thrive.
Without treatment, the average survival time after infection with HIV is estimated to be 9 to 11 years, depending on the HIV subtype.
