Deeply fun to welcome students from @WhitgiftSchool1 to @School_Pharmacy @UCLLifeSciences to analyse samples of a molecule they made for the #openscience drug discovery project @MycetOS We NMR'd, we mass specced, we figured it out. https://t.co/gqWPd8eOBX @ResearchInSch

Mycetoma is a devastating skin disease that can lead to stigma, disability and amputation. No proper medications are available. The #openscience group @MycetOS is seeking novel drugs for #mycetoma and you can help. Join us https://t.co/O816eOiRkv #WorldNTDDay @DNDi

Lab meeting on how to set up @github for lab projects and how we use repositories. This is video 1, the basics. More coming on Issues and the Wiki. We've used Github for years in @O_S_M @MycetOS and now across @thesgconline and READDI-AViDD. https://t.co/uwjuxsqfjd #openscience

📍Next Monday, join us @ISG_UNIGE for a discussion on 20 years of medical research for neglected populations with our Executive Director @DrLuisPizarro & Dr Fabiana Alves, Leishmaniasis-Mycetoma Director.

Lots to talk about at today's @MycetOS meeting at 12 noon UK time https://t.co/NPEFDfQiSj including incoming molecules from @andreav_otago, @School_Pharmacy @WhitgiftSchool1 @ChemistryatYork and more. All welcome, it's #openscience 4 #NTDs #mycetoma @wwjvdsande @DNDi @MatToddChem

[Vernall Lab @andreav_otago]

It's that time of year again - CHEM 305 students @otago have synthesised and purified these compounds for @DNDi Open synthesis network and @MycetOS testing. Well done everyone!

Very good to see eumycetoma featured. A terrible disease needing more research. @DNDi @ProfAHFahal @GHITFund @wwjvdsande @wellcometrust

[Nathalie Strub Wourgaft @Nathalie_SW]

Crtitical 🙏🏽 to see eumycetoma agents prioritised. We hope this will stimulate donors investing in R&D for this nasty NTD. A skin disease leading to multiple amputations! @dndi we worked with @MycetomaRC @ProfAHFahal @Eisai_SDGs with @GHITFund. But more needed @MycetOS &beyond.

[Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative @DNDi]

#Mycetoma is so neglected that there weren’t any epidemiological cut-off values to guide treatment… until now! This study determined values for existing treatment itraconazole & a potential new treatment, fosravuconazole.
