Branca has #Chagas, a parasitic neglected tropical disease that killed her brother. She is receiving treatment, but will likely live with symptoms for the rest of her life. By #InnovatingTogether, there's hope we can find better treatments and diagnostics. 🔊Listen to her story:

A major step forward for infectious disease drug discovery! Congratulations to the team! Drug Discovery Unit WCAIR Univ of Dundee University of Dundee GSK Acceleration of infectious disease drug discovery and development using a humanized model of drug metabolism | PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

A privilege to welcome SIr Mike Ferguson Drug Discovery Unit to Biochemistry, Cell and Systems Biology Inst of Systems, Molecular & Integrative Biology to deliver the Morton Lecture of the Biochemical Society. His work on carbohydrates/lipids changed biochemistry and drug discovery in so many ways. Liverpool salutes a superstar of UK science.

The proof of our latest manuscript is online now PLOS NTDs. Excellent collaboration with Jorge González Bacerio and colleagues at Universidad de La Habana in #Cuba! Great output of the WCAIR Univ of Dundee training programme. Drug Discovery Unit University of Dundee lawebster10 dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

#ISNTDd3 2024 online meeting next week covering drug discovery, development & diagnostics for neglected tropical diseases. February 27 - 28 Register here: isntd.org/isntd-d3

📢What's new in #drugdiscovery & #repurposing for #NTDs treatments incl #Chagas #schistosomiasis #snakebite #BuruliUlcer? Pls join us at #ISNTDd3 👉From pipeline to neglected patients: overcoming challenges in drug discovery for NTDs | Feb 27, 10.00 UTC 👉isntd.org/isntd-d3

I'd encourage anyone who believes that opportunistic infections and advanced HIV are big issues to please make a comment saying so. Currently - there is no mention of either and this will definitely impact funding in the future!

We think this is super exciting - and so do ValirxPlcOfficial, so they have signed on to look at our #firstpunch #toolmolecules, leading the way in potentially translating this novel research to the clinic. dundee.ac.uk/stories/new-me…

Interested in Trypanosoma cruzi, genome instability and drug tolerance? PhD in @ITMAntwerp working with @DujardinBioMed, @martinllewellyn, Malgorzata Anna Domagalska on #Chagas, #genomics and #singlecell. itg.be/en/jobs-and-re…

Please join us for our #WorldChagasDay event which will focus on the "The Voices of Chagas Disease" and hear from people living with or impacted by #Chagas #ChagasDisease #Kissingbug HamerLab Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative DNDi_Español Coalición Chagas Facultad de Medicina | Universidad de Antioquia Universidad de Antioquia Chagas @ BU & BMC TexasChagasTaskforce

Many thanks to Royal Society of Edinburgh for awarding Drug Discovery Unit the MARY SOMERVILLE MEDAL for exceptional achievements in teamwork and collaborative endeavour. Fantastic recognition of the brilliant collaborative spirit in the Drug Discovery Unit. Congratulations to the entire team!!

In this paper we describe a range of methods to inactivate #Trypanosoma cruzi for downstream experiments, including inactivating large parasite pellets, useful for purification of endogenous proteins.

Great to be at LSTM_NTDs today for their Showcase event to present our Drug Discovery Unit work and to hear about the excellent research at the School. Many thanks to Joe Turner for the invite!

We are proud to be hosting our conference with partners in Ghana. Drug Discovery Africa will showcase African led drug discovery research. Save the dates 12-14th March for now, more details to follow. wcair.dundee.ac.uk/drug-discovery…

Delighted that our latest paper describing a platform enabling mapping of resistance- conferring mutations in anti-malarial drug targets is now out. WCAIR Univ of Dundee UoD Life Sciences mBio journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…
