Welcome to the EuResist Network website
The EuResist Network GEIE manages:
- the EuResist Integrated Data Base (EIDB), presently the largest available database of HIV genotypes and clinical response to antiretroviral therapy, with around 50.000 patients
- the EuResist Satellite DB (EsaDB), a tool for management of HIV patients data running locally on a PC. ESaDB is provided for free and is downlodable here
- the EuResist treatment response prediction engine. The EuResist prediction engine is a data-driven system which predicts the response to combination drug therapy for a patient with a given viral genotype. The engine has an overall accuracy of around 77% which compares favourably with existing rules-based state-of-the-art systems such as HIVdb, ANRS, REGA.
The EuResist Network is seeking for new partners of proved or potential scientific value for expanding both database and scientific programme. Co-operation with developing countries with high rates of HIV infections is mostly welcome.
All the partners have one representative in the EuResist Network Scientific Board. The Board evaluates requests to access the EIDB for scientific studies. Partner's activities and data are protected by the data and authorship policy (link).
