Avian-origin H7N9 influenza is a novel influenza A virus (IAV) that emerged in humans in
China in 2013. Using immunoinformatics tools, we identified several H7N9 T cell epitopes …

The review covers the functional and structural approach followed by our group for more
than 34 years in the search for a methodology that allows the rational design of chemically …

Our ongoing search for a fully-effective vaccine against the Plasmodium falciparum parasite
(causing the most lethal form of human malaria) has been focused on identifying and …

Biochemical, structural and single amino acid level analysis of 49 Plasmodium falciparum
protein regions (13 sporozoite and 36 merozoite proteins) has highlighted the functional role …

The development of an adequate immune response against pathogens is mediated by
molecular interactions between different cell types. Among them, binding of antigenic …

If ever there were a truism then it would be that a completely protective Plasmodium
falciparum malaria vaccine is desperately needed. Our institute has devoted all its efforts …

Based on the 3D X-ray crystallographic structures of relevant proteins of the malaria parasite
involved in invasion to host cells and 3D NMR structures of High Activity Binding Peptides …

A vaccine against malaria is desperately needed, and Aotus monkeys are highly susceptible
to experimental infection with malarial parasites. A thorough analysis of this monkey's …

Twenty years ago we reported the first synthetic peptide-based anti-malarial vaccine named
SPf66, which conferred limited protective efficacy in large-scale human field-trials. Our …
