The global emergency caused by HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis requires new approaches to confront the three major killing diseases around the world that are the origin and the consequence of serious poverty. In response to this emergency, The European Union provides a comprehensive approach in a wide range of policy areas, including trade, development and research. Research on HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis focuses on collaborative research at World level, developing new therapies, diagnostic and preventive tools. The Programme is sponsoring research on the entire spectrum, from basic molecular research through to preclinical tests and proof-of-principle studies. Research efforts confront the three diseases at the global level, but also address specific European aspects. Structures that were successfully built under the FP6 (2002-2006) are reinforced and complemented in the FP7. This catalogue shows the projects currently financed by the European Commission’s Seventh Research Framework Programme (FP7) since 2007 up to 2010, aiming at combating these three major killer diseases: HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis.
