Our R&D portfolio for pandemic preparedness
What we have achieved
We engaged in collaborative drug discovery partnerships to develop affordable, effective new COVID-19 treatments. We also mobilized partners around the world, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, to build clinical trials networks, share knowledge, and conduct research with a particular focus on finding solutions for low-resource settings.
Preparing clinical infrastructure for the next pandemic. Along with partners, DNDi co-founded PANTHER to prepare and respond rapidly to pandemics on the African continent by providing the human, technical, scientific, and administrative infrastructure through a network of experienced African research centres.
A network for research in low- and middle-income countries. In 2020, DNDi co-launched CERCLE, a coalition of 900 researchers & research institutions aiming to accelerate research on infectious diseases of pandemic potential by ensuring the participation – and meeting the specific needs of low-resource settings.
A multi-country trials focusing on mild and moderate cases of COVID-19. Conducted across 29 clinical trial sites in 13 African countries and Brazil by 27 medical research organizations, the ANTICOV study tested treatments that could reduce the risk of hospitalization.
What we are doing for pandemic preparedness
We are using our experience in non-profit drug development and our partnerships with medical research institutions worldwide to prepare for future viral pandemics in low- and middle-income countries.
Building capacity, uniting expertise
Research platforms and consortiums that bring together researchers and strengthen research capacities in low- and middle-income countries are central to our virtual R&D model.
Partnering for patients
Collaboration is an essential part of how we work. We have forged a diverse range of alliances and research collaborations with over 200 partners in nearly 50 countries.
Making medical history for neglected patients
We develop urgently needed treatments for neglected patients and ensure they’re affordable, available, and adapted to the communities who need them
