An innovative research collaboration bringing together leading experts to tackle neglected tropical diseases

The London Centre for Neglected Tropical Disease Research (LCNTDR) is an innovative research collaboration between Imperial College London, Kingston University, London School of Economics and Political Science, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, Natural History Museum, Royal Veterinary College, St Georges University of London, UK Neqas Parasitology, University of Greenwich, and University of Surrey.

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.

Investments in NTDs are essential if we are to achieve universal health coverage. To mobilise resources, @WHO has published n #NTDroadmap2030 companion document, highlighting the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of interventions to #beatNTDs. https://t.co/BkHCgtelZF

The @WHO #NTDroadmap2030 recognises that we cannot #beatNTDs without cross-sectoral collaboration. This #WorldToiletDay reiterate our commitment to integrate WASH and NTDs to achieve #GlobalGoals on health and clean water and sanitation for all. https://t.co/zPMFw7Bdb2

RT @TrachomaControl: Environmental improvement is a pillar of the @WHO-endorsed SAFE strategy to #endtrachoma. In Nigeria, @Sightsavers and partners are working with communities to build and maintain latrines to reduce transmission of trachoma and achieve #healthforall. #WorldToiletDay https://t.co/hfr8I7nsK9

Ned @NTDResearch from @RoyalVetCollege highlights the changing epidemiology of congenital toxoplasmosis, a disease which affects 190,000 pregnancies each year, and the need for further research to understand the underlying causes of these changes. https://t.co/NNTicI6oZO

Sleeping sickness diagnosis in non-endemic countries is rare and can be challenging, but alertness and surveillance must be maintained to achieve elimination. Learn about cases in on-endemic countries from 2011-2020 in @PLOSNTDs. #beatNTDs https://t.co/g75IOuK39f

Onchocerciasis persists in many villages in Enugu and Ogun states, Nigeria, despite prior rounds of MDA. However, low microfiladermia densities suggest MDA is reducing disease, but more time will be required to reach the elimination goal. Learn more: https://t.co/YSMTFkKqta

RT @ActNTDsWest: We’re excited to convene representatives from all 11 @ActNTDsWest countries tomorrow (11/9) for a 3-day workshop to share successes, identify challenges in the fight against NTDs and confirm actions for integrating NTD services into policies & health delivery services. #BeatNTDs https://t.co/0OJuiw9rep

RT @CombatNTDs: We're delighted to see that health and equity are placed at the centre of the climate negotiations at #COP27. We asked our Director of Resource Mobilisation and Advocacy about the interlinked challenges of climate change and neglected tropical diseases: https://t.co/iMEXgNvDxE https://t.co/FhQkf0UeaD

Today at #ASHTM2022, we discussed conflict resolution approaches to enable health services. In Sudan, a 4 month Guinea worm ceasefire was successful in triggering a steady decline for Guinea worm as well other NTDs, such as onchocerciasis, over the following years. #TropMed22 https://t.co/NRSB2M3B0b

Inspiring to hear tributes to Professor Paul Farmer at #ASTMH2022. He made an everlasting impact on the lives of so many and challenged the way healthcare was delivered to ensure as much was done to reach the most vulnerable as possible. #HealthForAll #HumanRights https://t.co/CHtjb39Nmm
