Wondering how we're doing??




We have a preliminary layout for data that will allow easy comparison between a variety of
We received a positive response from NINE organizations working in NTD drug discovery who are interested in learning more and potentially getting involved
On Monday, May 19th, we are having a formal kick-off teleconference to plot the path forward
On Thursday, May 15, I'll be prae participants!
An opinion piece will appear in the journal PLoS-Neglected Tropical Diseases in early July, promoting a need for improved models of data sharing for NTDs. I'll post a link when it's online.

About This Project

Improving Collaborations for Neglected Tropical Diseases

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) infect over a billion of the poorest people in the world, yet only a tiny fraction of all drug discovery efforts is focused on this. There is little sharing of data across labs working in this area, leading to duplication of effort and precious time and money wasted. We are piloting a new data sharing model for NTD drug discovery that will help speed treatments for these diseases that disable and kill so many.
