The #KigaliDeclaration on #NTDs launched at the #Kigalisummit taarifa.rw/kigali-declara… Important high level support for new research for the world's most neglected and terrible diseases. Declaration can be read on the Uniting to Combat Neglected Tropical Diseases website unitingtocombatntds.org/kigali-declara… Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative

It was great to welcome the Trinity group of Heads of Chemistry to Sevenoaks School today, along with guest speaker, the wonderful Professor Mat Todd Matthew Todd who spoke about the Open Source Mycetoma project and invited visiting schools to get involved. See below for links!

On the sidelines of #ISHAM2022, we're hosting an online event today on #mycetoma in India & the need for treatment. Featuring Professor Ahmed Hassan Fahal, Ed Zijlstra, Prof. Dilip Kachhawa, Prof. Vijay Zawa, and moderated by Dr Kavita Singh. Join us at 7 PM IST➡️ tinyurl.com/Mycetoma #beatNTDs

#Mycetoma is so neglected that there weren’t any epidemiological cut-off values to guide treatment… until now! This study determined values for existing treatment itraconazole & a potential new treatment, fosravuconazole. Read in Wiley: bit.ly/3Sa233w #beatNTDs

Very good to see eumycetoma featured. A terrible disease needing more research. Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative Professor Ahmed Hassan Fahal GHIT Fund (グローバルヘルス技術振興基金) wwjvdsande Wellcome

It's that time of year again - CHEM 305 students University of Otago have synthesised and purified these compounds for Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative Open synthesis network and Open Source Mycetoma testing. Well done everyone!

Lots to talk about at today's Open Source Mycetoma meeting at 12 noon UK time github.com/OpenSourceMyce… including incoming molecules from Vernall Lab, UCL School of Pharmacy Whitgift School Chemistry at York and more. All welcome, it's #openscience 4 #NTDs #mycetoma wwjvdsande Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative Matthew Todd

📍Next Monday, join us ISG for a discussion on 20 years of medical research for neglected populations with our Executive Director Dr Luis Pizarro & Dr Fabiana Alves, Leishmaniasis-Mycetoma Director. Register here ➡️ bit.ly/46mKXHg #InnovatingTogether #globalhealth

Lab meeting on how to set up GitHub for lab projects and how we use repositories. This is video 1, the basics. More coming on Issues and the Wiki. We've used Github for years in Open Source Malaria Open Source Mycetoma and now across Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC) and READDI-AViDD. youtube.com/watch?v=25C7it… #openscience

Mycetoma is a devastating skin disease that can lead to stigma, disability and amputation. No proper medications are available. The #openscience group Open Source Mycetoma is seeking novel drugs for #mycetoma and you can help. Join us github.com/OpenSourceMyce… #WorldNTDDay Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative

Deeply fun to welcome students from Whitgift School to UCL School of Pharmacy UCL Faculty of Life Sciences to analyse samples of a molecule they made for the #openscience drug discovery project Open Source Mycetoma We NMR'd, we mass specced, we figured it out. ucl.ac.uk/pharmacy/news/… Research in Schools

Fungal Disease Awareness Week is September 16-20. Each day will highlight a different fungal disease topic. For #FungalWeek24, raise awareness to help protect people, plants, and animals from the growing impact of fungal diseases. bit.ly/4dyCy6u
