About  [Edit]

This site is part of a WHO/TDR project seeking to exploit the availability of diverse datasets, from multiple species, to facilitate target identification and prioritization in TDR priority organisms. Drug target discovery has provided the primary motivation for this project, but these tools may also be useful for other applications (e.g. diagnostic or vaccine target identification). See Enhancing Drug Discovery for Neglected Tropical Diseases and Innovative lead discovery strategies for tropical diseases for insight into how this project fits into the larger landscape of parasite drug discovery efforts.

A pilot survey on drug targets for Human African Trypanosomiasis is being run now. The idea to survey the scientific community came from a workshop on Drug Discovery for Trypanosomatid Diseases, held in Dundee in February 2007. This exercise will be used to design similar surveys for other neglected infectious diseases. The output of this community-driven survey will be posted on this site. For more information about the survey see The Scientific Community Human African Trypanosomiasis Drug Target Survey at Dundee.
