On behalf of the trustees, management and staff of the Sabin Vaccine Institute, we are pleased to share our most significant accomplishments from the past year in our 2011 annual report.
The Sabin PDP has initiated development for a new therapeutic vaccine for Chagas disease that will be undertaken with partners in Mexico, where between two and six million people are infected with this leading cause of poverty in Latin America. Current efforts focus on the development of two vaccine candidate antigens that will ultimately comprise the first therapeutic vaccine for Chagas disease.
The Sabin Vaccine Institute PDP works on developing vaccines for the more than 700 million people suffering from hookworm in the world today. Established in 2000 with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Sabin PDP (originally the Human Hookworm Vaccine Initiative) is the first and only PDP in the world developing a vaccine for human hookworm infection.
The Sabin PDP is focused on the development of sustainable and cost-effective vaccines for preventing widespread neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), including hookworm, schistosomiasis, Chagas disease and leishmaniasis.
