We’re at ASTMH 2017 – come and meet the team!
The IDDO team will be attending this year’s American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH) Annual Meeting held in Baltimore, USA. Visit the Centre for Tropical Medicine & Global Health booth (number 312) in the exhibition area to meet staff members.
IDDO team members will participate in a variety of sessions and symposia. These take place alongside other oral and poster presentations that come under the WWARN malaria research.
In Scientific Session 41, IDDO Director Prof Philippe Guérin will discuss the latest partnership between IDDO and the Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative (DNDi) in planning and delivering a visceral leishmaniasis (VL) data platform. This platform will maximise the utility of existing resources and enable researchers to address priority questions in VL treatment within a framework that recognises the contributions of data contributors and clinical trial participants.
