It’s hard for people with mobility problems to get around and experience the world around them. They often rely on vehicles to transport their mobile device on them and that’s perfectly okay. The problem becomes that the device is too heavy disabling any ability to get it into the vehicle.

Financing is one of the main obstacles toward cracking the final piece of the HIV cure puzzle-HIV reservoirs-and the backing of the NIH helps out in that regard.

Mobile equipment is utilized by several people a year. They can range from bariatric patients to post-surgery personnel who need a device to help them get around. Mobility options are plentiful because it doesn’t just stop at the traditional four-wheel look.

Dr. Heinrichs will discuss the development of vaccines for the prevention of Chlamydia trachomatis genital infections. Chlamydia trachomatis is a leading cause of both ocular disease (trachoma) and urogenital infections, and is the most commonly reported sexually transmitted disease in the United States. Although genital infection with chlamydia is frequently asymptomatic, failure to treat women can lead to serious health conditions including pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility. Merck, in collaboration with the University of Texas Health Sciences Center and the University of Texas at San Antonio, is seeking to identify novel vaccine candidates from the proteome of this organism.

Dr. Joseph Joyce will discuss M-Protein-derived peptide conjugate vaccine candidates for Streptococcus pyogenes. Group A Streptococcus (GAS) infections caused by S. pyogenes represent a major health care burden in both developed and developing nations. Disease etiology ranges from mild pharyngitis to life-threatening manifestations such as necrotizing fasciitis and toxic shock syndrome. In a percentage of individuals, post-infection sequelae can lead to serious autoimmune manifestations such as rheumatic fever and glomerulonephritis. While first line antibiotics are generally effective, recurrent infection and limited accessibility to therapeutics in the developing world where incidence of severe disease is highest drive the need for prophylactic vaccine development.
