The joint research project was established in 2015 as a vehicle for developing an anti-dengue virus antibody.

This project, which is based in Singapore, seeks to create a new antibody drug against the dengue virus. The GHIT Fund, which awarded a separate grant to the project in 2017, has provided $4.4 million in funding.
