Excellence in Science
We generate knowledge on diseases and health systems and develop novel diagnostics, drugs and vaccines as well as new approaches and tools.
Taking Science to Impact
We integrate new treatments and approaches into policy and health systems to improve care and public health locally, nationally and globally.
Mutual Learning for Sustainable Development
We share knowledge and practical expertise with partners, students, professionals, beneficiaries, organisations and society.
Closing the Schistosomiasis Treatment Gap
After 12 years of global collaboration, we're proud to share the story behind a breakthrough that will change lives. Together, researchers and innovators from the Pediatric Praziquantel Consortium made it possible: a new treatment option specifically designed for preschool-aged children affected by schistosomiasis, a parasitic worm infection. This milestone marks a critical step in closing the treatment gap for young children and advancing efforts to eliminate schistosomiasis as a public health problem.
Our partners across Japan, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the UK, Brazil, and African countries share what this collaborative R&D journey meant to them – showing what's possible when we work together toward the 2030 elimination goals.
