The London Centre for Neglected Tropical Disease Research (LCNTDR) is an innovative research collaboration between Imperial College London, the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, the Natural History Museum and the Royal Veterinary College.

The London Centre brings together leading experts to conduct cutting-edge research to build the evidence base around the design, implementation and evaluation of neglected tropical disease (NTD) control and elimination programmes.

RT @JoWebster_Group: Out @IJPara we demonstrate, contrary to (minsogynst ) belief that female schistosomes 'die without their man' whilst lone males mature/survive - that both genders can survive and subsequently reproduce, after even a year alone.
