The mission of the Neglected Global Diseases Initiative (NGDI) at UBC is to develop drugs for neglected global diseases and to ensure delivery to those in need. This initiative brings together the expertise and perspectives of many disciplines to accomplish this mission. Professor Kishor Wasan, Distinguished University Scholar in the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, leads the NGDI. A gift from Novartis Pharmaceuticals will fund a two-day international symposium in Vancouver in 2010 with the goal of forging an international network that will enable sustained scholarly activity for this challenging problem in world health.
