🚨 Calling all LSTM students and staff! Register for the Research Centre Showcase 2024. 📆 Tuesday 30th July, in Pembroke House. ✨A full day of inspiring talks from LSTM's talented researchers and leading scientists from around the world! Register ➡️ lstm.ac/ResearchCentre…

A fantastic course for anyone wanting to work on developing new drugs and diagnostics.

We’re pleased to co-sponsor this new global trial assessing antimalarial medicines in women in their first trimester of pregnancy. SAFIRE will evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and cost-effectiveness of antimalarial drugs to treat uncomplicated malaria.

This groundbreaking research targets the microbiome of parasitic worms to combat diseases like lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis. Boron-based compounds inhibited the Wolbachia enzyme LeuRS, halting worm growth. This novel approach could lead to more effective treatments.

There were some brilliant talks from the CDD's invited speakers this morning. We're looking forward to seeing what our colleagues from Centre for Neglected Tropical Diseases (CNTD) and Centre for Snakebite Research & Interventions have in store this afternoon.

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 had a fantastic day at the Research Centre Showcase yesterday with the CDD's invited speakers, Manu De Rycker from Drug Discovery Unit and Richard Urbanowicz from Inst of Infection Veterinary & Ecological Sciences, kicking off the day with two fascinating talks about their groundbreaking drug discovery #research.

It was fantastic to welcome so many colleagues from across LSTM and partner universities to our Research Centre Showcase earlier this week. We heard about just some of the groundbreaking science being done by Centre for Neglected Tropical Diseases (CNTD), Centre for Drugs and Diagnostics (CDD) and Centre for Snakebite Research & Interventions and how it is changing lives.

We're pleased to announce that we will welcome Madeleine Thomson from Wellcome to our 125th Anniversary Scientific Symposium as the keynote speaker in a session chaired by Charles Wondji exploring the impact of climate change on tropical health lstm.ac/anniversarysym…
