The annual launch of the G-FINDER report

Since its inception, the launch of the G-FINDER neglected disease report has provided an annual opportunity for key players in the global health community to come together.

The most recent G-FINDER neglected disease report was launched in January 2023.

The session included a presentation of the report’s findings and insights by Dr. Paul Barnsley, Research and Analysis Lead, as well as a high-level discussion on the future of neglected disease research with Dr. Peter Hotez, Professor and Dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, and Co-Director of the Center for Vaccine Development at Texas Children’s Hospital.

The report is available here, along with the accompanying press release
