Cure (EU Horizon 2020 project 2017-2021)
Current treatments allow many asthma patients to control their disease. However, medicine is not yet capable of proposing a cure to this chronic respiratory disease, the most common in childhood and lined to allergy. In 2017 we launched CURE, an EU research project to explore if viruses could cure asthma. The hypothesis that will be analysed by our project partners is if bacterial viruses (phages) are able to control the bacterial populations and reinstate the balance within asthmatic airways after infections. EFA will drive the dissemination of the project whose final aim is to propose a phage therapy to control the immune dysregulation of asthma and eventually… be able to cure it!
