Translational Venom and Antivenom Research

蛇中毒是一种被忽视的热带病，可导致大量死亡、心理问题和经济负担。在资源贫乏的国家，抗蛇毒血清并不容易获得。CRE将调查蛇毒和抗蛇毒血清的作用，以提高对人类中毒的了解。它还将开发用于早期诊断中毒的测试方法，并开展抗蛇毒血清的临床试验。这些研究将被转化为临床实践，以改善蛇咬伤的治疗。

Snake envenoming is a neglected tropical disease and results in numerous deaths, psychological problems and economic burden. Antivenoms aren't readily available in resource poor countries. The CRE will investigate the effects of venom and antivenom to improve understanding of human envenoming. It will also develop tests for early diagnosis of envenoming and undertake clinical trials of antivenom. These studies will be translated back into clinical practice to improve treatment of snake bites.
