CoEvolve Co-evolutionary dynamics of viral pathogens and human antibody response

Coordinator: CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE CNRS (FR)

Vertebrates, like ourselves, use adaptive immune cells to protect themselves from pathogens. Predicting mutations of these pathogens, together with the immune response, is essential for the design of vaccines and therapies. CoEvolve will map the co-evolution of immune repertoires and viral populations, to forecast likely properties of future infecting strains and to design interventions that improve immune control.Much effort has been devoted to evolving viral pathogens, but most studies focus either on viral evolution or on immune adaptation in individual hosts. Yet pathogen and host dynamic…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €10.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2026-06-01 to 2032-05-31.
