'Diagnosing point-of-care diagnostics for neglected tropical diseases'

Latest #CDlab paper online in @PLOSNTDs: https://t.co/UOSFtb2gOz

Here, lead authors @mitashabharadw & MichelBengtson et al review point-of-care diagnostics for the many horrible neglected tropical diseases.

@mitashabharadw @tudelft presents the hottest gene-editing tool on the block for point-of-care #diagnostics for neglected tropical diseases and to address the main gaps in diagnostics to #beatntds #isntdd3

[ISNTD @ISNTD_Press]

Welcome to our second session at #isntdd3 on #diagnostics innovation for tropical diseases with a range of tools and approaches presented by @mitashabharadw @tudelft @bundeswehrInfo @HokkaidoUni @ItmNtd @ITMantwerp @ICE_Malaria @imperialcollege

[Cees Dekker @cees_dekker]

If today’s graduation or the symposium made you enthusiastic about our work on DNA diagnostics for negelected tropical diseases in resource-limited settings,
please note that postdoc @mitashabharadw will develop this into a startup company STAND

Feel free to contact her!

At this moment @jcdiehl is speaking about Matching Development of Point-of-Care Diagnostic Tests to the Local Context. A case study of visceral leishmaniasis in #Kenya & #Uganda at the first @sepghim Alumni meeting.

Great work by Michel Bengtson @mitashabharadw together with group @jcdiehl

[GHIT Fund (グローバルヘルス技術振興基金) @GHITFund]

We announced today a total of 1.37 billion yen to invest in seven partnerships to develop new lifesaving drugs and diagnostics for malaria, Buruli ulcer, Chagas disease, leishmaniasis, schistosomiasis, and soil-transmitted helminths. 👉https://t.co/KsaQOXeNjW

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Today, I have good news! Thanks to a partnership between @WHO, @AfricaCDC, @CHAI_health, @FINDdx, @gatesfoundation, @GlobalFund, @UNITAID, 120 million quality antigen based rapid diagnostic #COVID19 tests will be made available to low- & middle-income countries. #ACTogether

[UN Women @UN_Women]

To all the women who have been told that they are:

too loud,
too emotional,
too ambitious,
too difficult,
too bossy,
too much,

We hear you. We believe in you. We stand with you.

Let's fight the stereotypes together. #GenerationEquality

Quite saddening ... mental illnesses are for real - it’s sad they are stigmatized and people are hesitant to seek proper care! Sometimes a small talk can help!! #MentalHealthMatters #postpartum #womenhealth

“It was something you guys wouldn’t understand because the Indian society does not fully understand postpartum depression.”

Mosquitoes don’t practice social distancing. They don’t wear masks, either. As #COVID19 spreads across the globe, it’s important to remember that the world’s deadliest animal 🦟 hasn’t taken a break during this pandemic. https://t.co/zlDVi8PPzm #EndMalaria

[Mitasha Bharadwaj @mitashabharadw]

Indeed need of the hour!!

[FIND @FINDdx]

An affordable, self-administered #COVID19 test could change the course of the pandemic. What would this test look like and how far is the world from developing one? @Emma_Hannay and other experts explore this issue in @politico: https://t.co/G9bakJiQ4Y

[Mitasha Bharadwaj @mitashabharadw]

For every pain that affects the normal body functioning-rest is important. Knowing that one of such uncomfortable times comes every month - period leave is a good step - one cannot close his/hers eyes on natural biological phenomena in the light of gender equality!

[barkha dutt @BDUTT]

The other thing hideous about the idea of Period Leave is how it turns a normal biological experience into some sort of monumental event, gendering us at the work place when we have fought so hard to not be gendered. You can troll me all you want. Wont change my mind on this

The final phase of 🪱Guinea worm eradication is proving more difficult than was hoped. A new LAMP-based🧪assay to detect Dracunculus medinensis🧬 in copepods could allow pond-side diagnosis of infected🥤water sources - & therefore targeting of temephos: https://t.co/ZHjgyanbNg

People are getting sick and even dying after swallowing hand sanitizer, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.

Four have died and others have suffered impaired vision or seizures, the CDC says. https://t.co/W7UXiBxmSm

Have a look! @DNDi’s 2019 Annual Report covers the progress of our R&D partnerships for neglected patients + the critical needs & promising opportunities driving our work ahead. #beatNTDs #COVID19 #NTDroadmap2030 https://t.co/bvN7PSMe6Z

Version 1.1 of @WHO’s skin neglected tropical disease 📱app is now available. It outlines skin NTD signs & symptoms, providing critical diagnostic guidance to front-line health workers. #beatNTDs

CRISPR gene drives for next-generation pest control? Our work on wasps shows that potential resistance can be managed, but suppression is more likely than eradication. See https://t.co/LB5tJm8FWL Awesome modelling work from John Kean at @AgResearchNEWS Thanks @BioHeritageNZ
