Expert Opinion on Drug Discovery – Special supplement on the Helminth Drug Initiative

The paucity of products in development for helminth diseases, as well as the lack of a dedicated product development partnership for these diseases has necessitated a focused initiative to boost the research and development pipeline for these diseases. Consultation meetings organised by TDR in collaboration with the Japanese Society of Parasitology have identified the need for a focused initiative to facilitate research and development against human parasitic worm infections.

This special supplement of Expert Opinion on Drug Discovery documents the rationale for the Helminth Drug Initiative, as well as reports of technical consultations and recommendations that led to the initial establishment of the Initiative within TDR.

We hope that it will stimulate interest and activity in this highly significant and neglected area of research.
