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. ucl.ac.uk/pharmacy/news/2024… @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 github.com/OpenSourceMycetom… #WorldNTDDay @DNDi

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

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.

#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.
