MMV 9th African Call for Proposals — Malaria Drug Discovery
Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) · Switzerland (Geneva)
Overview
MMV invites proposals from African scientists in four priority areas: (1) medicinal chemistry, novel molecules with confirmed antimalarial activity (EC50 < 10 µM) and a credible optimisation plan, especially compounds suitable for chemoprevention; (2) assay development and screening to support discovery or development of novel antimalarials; (3) computer-aided drug discovery using cheminformatic or bioinformatic approaches; (4) large molecules, biologics or oligonucleotides for malaria treatment or chemoprevention. Proposals must use the specified template.
