Discovering new pathways to improved biotherapeutic treatment of snakebite envenoming.

蛇咬伤是一种突发公共卫生事件，每年影响多达540万人，导致多达12.5万人死亡。这个多学科项目将利用尖端科学和新颖的生产理念支持的创新设计方法，开发治疗蛇咬伤的新一代药物。在澳大利亚、非洲和巴布亚新几内亚，这一结果直接侧重于提高抗蛇毒血清治疗蛇咬伤的有效性，这一结果将使澳大利亚成为这一领域的世界领先者。

Snakebite is a public health emergency affecting up to 5.4 million people a year, causing up to 125,000 deaths. This multidisciplinary project will develop a new generation of medicines for treating snakebites, using innovative design approaches supported by cutting edge science and novel production ideas. Directly focused on improving antivenom effectiveness in the treatment of snakebites in Australia, Africa and Papua New Guinea, the results will make Australia a world leader in this field.
