STI and Skin NTD Unit

The Unit’s goal is to identify clinical solutions for treponemal diseases that affect vulnerable populations worldwide and foster their translation into health policies. Since 2020, it also works to contribute to the fight against the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and the global mpox outbreak. This research is financed by the European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant 850450, the Instituto de Salud Carlos III through project PI19/01447, co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) — “A way of making Europe”, and by the generous contribution of a wide array of other public and private funders.

It is hosted by the Fight Aids and Infectious Diseases Foundation / Germans Trias i Pujol University Hospital (Badalona, Spain).
