13 TOMORROW - Targeted Initiatives Science and Technology in the Prevention of Biological Threats Drug Design & Development Probiotics & Health

14 TOMORROW Science and Technology in the Prevention of Biological Threats Focus on projects developing new techniques & technologies for rapid detection ti of microorganisms i of concerns; Development of reliable field diagnostic kits & supporting activities to enhance high throughput clinical diagnostics; Focus on developing projects to protect the food supply chain via new & better diagnostics to detect dangerous bio-agents & measures to protect against intentional and unintentional contamination; New focus areas as determined by a Steering Committee formed by funding Parties

15 TOMORROW Drug Design & Development Promotion for excellent chemical teams in CIS to foster Drug Discovery Focused at the new compounds to treat bacterial (Tuberculosis) and viral infections Approved at ISTC in 2008, supported by RF, Armenia & Belarus TB Drug Discovery Action Fiche and Position paper to attract co funding from governmental and private companies and programs developed and spread among Parties and Partners

16 TOMORROW Probiotics and Health Project proposals under preparation: 100 years of vast experience Astro yoghurt (Institute of Biomedical Problems, Moscow, Russia) Bacteriocines (Institute of Highly Pure Biopreparations, St. Petersburg, Russia), Probiotics and Bacteriophage Depositary (Institute of Immunological Engineering, Lyubuchany, Russia) Yughurt with Seaweed Compounds (Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology, Vladivostok, Russia) Probiotic i Metabolites (Institute of Microbiology, Minsk, Belarus) Lactic Acid Bacteria Biodiversity (Institute of Biotechnology, Yerevan, Armenia) Probiotics and Aging (Eliava Institute of Microbiology and Bacteriophages, Tbilisi, Georgia) Fermented Beet Root Juice (Institute of Microbiology and Virology, Almaty, Kazakhstan), etc. Ilya Mechnikov There is enormous untapped potential amongst the Russian scientific community for studies on the human and animal microbiomes that have the potential to not only lead to scientific advances, but new food and pharma products that will improve the health and well-being of people around the world. Gregor Reid, President of International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics

17 TOMORROW Global Multinational Projects Engaging private sector, government agencies, multiple countries in implementing large projects of global value Playing a supporting role in implementation i of such projects Working together with Foundations, other international organizations such as WHOt to implement tjit joint or complementary activities Support international cooperation on global outbreaks of infectious diseases Engage in discussions on worldwide biosafety issues and concerns

18 TOMORROW Partners Partners Private sector and government agencies Engage Private companies using the incentives provided to new partners from Canada and EU for funded partner projects
