Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs)

We have a dedicated global health organisation with two R&D centres, in Siena, Italy and Tres Cantos, Spain, researching potential solutions for NTDs. Our scientists are looking at a range of diseases across invasive nontyphoidal salmonella, typhoid and paratyphoid fever, and Group A streptococcus, visceral leishmaniasis, Chagas disease, lymphatic filariasis, soil-transmitted parasites and dengue fever.

We're also working in close collaboration with leading research institutes and partners to seek solutions to help end the epidemics of tuberculosis, malaria and HIV, for which we have a range of vaccines and medicines.
