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.

14 countries are currently on the path to interruption of transmission, with 0 new child cases in the past 5 years. We have the tools to stop transmission, but we need political commitment to do so. It’s time to #ActNow and invest to #EndLeprosy. #WorldLeprosyDay https://t.co/ksZLHN3vbL

> 24 countries have implemented SDR-PEP, an antibiotic that stops leprosy from developing. SDR-PEP can reduce the risk of leprosy, and 99% of close contacts of leprosy patients accept SDR-PEP as a way to stop transmission. #ActNow #EndLeprosy #WorldLeprosyDay https://t.co/yTy7qrSFvY
