Curadev Pharma has announced their collaboration with Dr. Winsley Rose and other clinicians at the Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore, to study biomarkers of immune suppression in dengue patients. Increased activation of the kynurenine pathway has been postulated as a mechanism by which the dengue virus and a variety of infectious agents evade host immunity. As dengue is endemic to parts of India, this partnership aims to map plasma kynurenine and tryptophan levels as a function of disease severity.  

From its inception, Curadev has sought and nurtured alliances with leading academicians and institutions to create a forum for dialogue and translational research. Curadev will provide the technical and financial resources required to support the clinical study carried out by CMC Vellore clinicians.
