The Team

The Global Health (GH) Division harnesses advances in science and technology to save lives in low- and middle-income countries. We focus on the health problems that have a major impact in developing countries but receive too little attention and funding. Where proven tools and interventions exist, we support sustainable ways to improve their delivery and implementation in populations. Where they do not, we invest in research and development of new interventions, such as vaccines, drugs, and diagnostics. Our work in infectious diseases focuses on strategies to fight and prevent HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis (TB), neglected tropical diseases, enteric and diarrheal diseases, pneumonia and polio. These strategies are supported by functional & cross cutting teams that focus on Discovery & Translational Sciences, Integrated Development, and Vaccine Development.

The Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) team has two overarching impact goals that define success. Our first goal is to eradicate, eliminate, or control 8 of the 20 Neglected Tropical Diseases recognized by the WHO [lymphatic filariasis (LF), onchocerciasis (oncho), schistosomiasis (schisto), soil-transmitted helminths (STH), trachoma, Guinea worm (GW), visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in South Asia, and human African trypanosomiasis (HAT)]. Our second goal is to improve non-NTD health outcomes using the NTD delivery platform, through programs such as Resiliency through Azithromycin for Children (REACH).

The NTD team has two technical sub-teams, namely an “upstream” domain and a “downstream” domain. The Upstream Domain supports new product development (drugs, diagnostics, vaccines and vector), innovations in data and digital systems, and operational research in support of NTD programs in Africa and India. The Downstream Domain supports all aspects of program implementation in disease-endemic countries. The NTD Team also has an internal business team and is matrixed to NTD experts within the division of Program, Advocacy and Communication.
