MMV Call for Applications: 7th African call for proposals

Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) invites applications from African scientists for the 7th African call for proposals.

Eligibility:

  • Be a scientist from Africa.

Priority areas:

  1. Compounds with confirmed activity on any antimalarial lifecycle stage
    Novel molecules with confirmed activity (EC50 < 10uM) and a medicinal chemistry plan that tackles any known or anticipated liability. In line with MMV strategic goals, priority will be given to compounds with potential for optimization as drugs for chemoprevention with a human half-life >120h.
  2. Assay development and screening
    Assay development and screening to support discovery or development of novel antimalarials.
  3. Computer-aided drug discovery
    Use of computational approaches (cheminformatic and/or bioinformatic) to discover new molecules with predicted antimalarial activity or new antimalarial drug targets.
