Drugs & Diagnostics for Tropical Diseases
Drugs & Diagnostics for Tropical Diseases (DDTD) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to discovering new treatments and developing diagnostics for diseases affecting vulnerable populations, particularly neglected tropical diseases. They focus on diseases such as Loiasis, Lymphatic Filariasis, Paragonimus, Buruli Ulcer, and others, aiming to eliminate these diseases through innovative solutions and global campaigns.
