Predicting the Future: Incipient Tuberculosis (PreFIT)
REFNo: HS1242ES
1.1 Aim:
To validate the clinical performance, cost, and feasibility of a package of ready-to-use new and existing candidate diagnostic assays for the prediction of the development of active TB.
1.2 Objectives:
1. Establish a multi-country diagnostic evaluation cohort of highly exposed TB contacts free of co-prevalent active TB, followed prospectively for active TB development over a 12-months period, and collect and store biological specimens from these contacts at pre-set time-points for laboratory testing; and
2. Validate a package of candidate assays for their predictive accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values) for incident TB, feasibility, and cost. Based on combining results for the different tests, cost-optimised predictive algorithms will be derived.

ASSESSMENT OF THE SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF COMMON MEDICINAL PLANTS OF CENTRAL UGANDA ON IMPAIRED LEARNING AND MEMORY IN RATS
REFNo: HS648ES
1. To identify medicinal plants of Central Uganda used in the management of memory impairment.
2. To determine the effect of the aqueous extracts of the 5 most commonly mentioned plants on escape latency in the Morris Water Maze and step down latency in Passive Avoidance test.
3. To determine the effect of the total crude extracts of the two most effective plants on: acetylcholine, glutamate; muscarinic receptor M1, M3 and M5; glutamate receptors AMPA and NMDA in the hippocampus and orbital frontal cortex
4. To establish the safety and toxicity profile of the two most active plants extracts on memory and learning enhancement.

Evaluation of two medicinal plants on key factors causing treatment failure in Hepatitis C infection
REFNo: HS1004ES
1. Evaluate the antiviral and anti-mutagenic effect of A. nilotica and T. ciliata on HCV in presence and absence of DAA
2. Evaluate the effect of A. nilotica and T. ciliata on induced mutation in HCV infection in presence and absence of DAA
