Baylor's National School of Tropical Medicine... includes as its research arm a... product development partnership . There are 16 PDPs worldwide... international nonprofit organizations that develop and manufactures—drugs, diagnostics, and vaccines—for NTDs, as well as for HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis , and malaria. Together, the NTDs, Tb, and malaria are sometimes broadly defined as "neglected diseases." PDPs develop and test new products for neglected diseases that the major pharmaceutical companies may not have an interest in because they are poverty-related afflictions that will therefor not generate significant sales income. The National School of Tropical Medicine's PDP is known as the PDP, and it is specifically focused on developing NTD vaccines. (en) |
