Abstract
Despite the efforts towards malaria eradication, latest estimates show that the number of malaria cases is still rising, and malaria continues to have a devastating impact on people's health and livelihoods particularly in populations located in sub-Saharan Africa 1. As a Product Development Partnership (PDP), MMV Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) plays a crucial role by using public and philanthropic funds to engage the pharmaceutical industry and academic research institutions to discover, develop and deliver the new drugs needed to control and eradicate malaria. MMV Discovery, working with partners, has developed a robust pipeline of molecules and a reliable discovery engine able to support research projects from screening to candidate nomination, providing access to centers of expertise and evaluating the profile and potential of molecules. To efficiently support this malaria discovery effort, MMV and its partners have established a state-of-the-art compound management network, supporting all discovery activities. This network serves both discovery projects and open innovation initiatives, such as MMV Open, tailoring workflows to align with distinct project objectives. In addition to this, MMV has implemented reliable integrated logistic tools and interfaces. These tools enable the efficient management and tracking of individual not solubilized (dry) samples of project compounds, as well as dedicated, solubilized libraries of compounds designated for primary screens targeting malaria and other neglected diseases.
