 ABOUT
The Novartis Institute for Tropical Disease (NITD) is a Singapore-based tropical disease research institute created through a public-private partnership between Novartis and the Singapore Economic Development Board. Research at NITD focuses primarily on developing novel small molecule therapies for tropical infectious diseases that are endemic to the developing world, particularly dengue fever, malaria and tuberculosis.[1][2]

History and mission

NITD was founded in 2002 as a public-private partnership between Swiss-based pharmaceutical company Novartis and the Singapore Economic Development Board.[1]
NITD states its goals are "to discover novel treatments and prevention methods for major tropical diseases." Their website states they hope to have at least two drug candidates going through clinical trials in patients by the year 2012.[2]
Novartis has also stated that the NITD will seek to make treatments developed by the NITD available without profit to the poor in developing nations in which these diseases are endemic.[3]

Research

NITD is a small molecule drug discovery research institute.[1]
Research is currently focused on three main diseases:[2]
NITD's research model relies on global partnership with other research institutes.[1] In 2008, NITD announced a 5-year collaborative research effort would be conducted in cooperation with the TB Alliance to develop new medicines for tuberculosis, including drug resistant tuberculosis.[4]

Education

In addition to research, NITD is engaged in educational activities. It runs a research-based Master of Science program in fields related to infectious diseases in cooperation with National University of Singapore, University of Basel and Swiss Tropical Institute.[5]
NITD also supports training opportunities for post-graduate students and post-doctoral fellows.[2]

Fighting neglected infectious diseases

NITD Scientist
NIBR LOGO 146x50
The Novartis Institute for Tropical Diseases (NITD), one of the institutes of the Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research (NIBR), is dedicated to finding new medicines to treat neglected, infectious diseases. As a small-molecule drug discovery research institute, it combines the drug-discovery expertise and cutting-edge technologies of Novartis to fight infectious tropical diseases, including Dengue fever, Human African Trypanomiasis and Malaria among others.
In developing countries where these diseases are endemic, Novartis will make treatments accessible to the communities that need them. NITD was set up as a public-private partnership between Novartis and the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) in 2002. Since then, it has grown to more than 100 researchers and supporting staff. As a major center of excellence for drug discovery, NITD will offer exceptional teaching and training opportunities for post-doctoral fellows and graduate students.

STEVE LEY


Professor Steven Ley is currently Director of Research at the Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge following on from 21 years as the BP (1702) Professor of Chemistry and is also a Fellow of Trinity College.  Steve obtained his PhD from Loughborough University with Professor Harry Heaney and afterwards carried out postdoctoral research with Professor Leo Paquette (Ohio State University) then Professor Derek Barton (Imperial College).  He was appointed as a lecturer at Imperial College in 1975, promoted to Professor in 1983, and then to Head of Department in 1989.  In 1990 he was elected to the Royal Society (London) and was President of The Royal Society of Chemistry from 2000-2002.


Steve’s research interests are varied and span many disciplines including new synthetic methodologies, the total synthesis of natural products and the development of enabling technologies for chemical synthesis especially in the area of flow chemistry technologies.  He has published over 780 papers and has gained 50 major awards including recently the Tetrahedron Prize for Creativity in Organic Chemistry (Elsevier); Heinrich Wieland Prize (Boehringer Ingelheim, Germany); The Paracelsus Prize (Swiss Chemical Society); The Royal Medal (The Royal Society, London),  The Longstaff Prize (The Royal Society of Chemistry) and the IUPAC Thales-Nano Prize in Flow Chemistry.

RESEARCH


Our research focusses on organic chemistry, the science that explores all aspects of organic compounds such as molecular structure, composition, the synthesis and properties of carbon-containing compounds and the methods and strategies that we use to achieve this.
We are committed to promoting excellence in postgraduate research through rigorous skills training and the provision of excellent laboratory facilities. We engender ambition and adventure to help our group members go on to become future pioneers and leaders in their own right.
The heart of our research interests lies in the discovery and development of new chemical methodologies, in the broadest sense. A main focus for us is tackling the challenges facing chemical manufacturing in the future and addressing strategic needs for more sustainable processes in chemical synthesis.

..............
Steven Victor Ley FRS is the BP Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Cambridge, and is a Fellow of Trinity College. He was President of the Royal Society of Chemistry (2000–2002) and was made a CBE in January 2002. In 2011, he was included by The Times in the list of the “100 most important people in British science”.[1]
His main research field is the total synthesis of biomolecules. His group has published extensively on this topic, and has completed the synthesis of more than 140 natural target compounds, with notable examples including indanamycin, routiennocin, avermectin B1a, okadaic acid, spongistatin, thapsigarginepothilone A, antascomicin B, bengazole A andrapamycin. His total synthesis of azadirachtin, completed in 2007, is widely regarded as one of the major landmarks in total synthesis. In the course of this work, he has also made substantial advances in many areas of organic chemistry, including the development of new catalystsprotecting groups and reagents. He is one of the inventors of TPAP, a widely employed oxidizing reagent. He has also pioneered the use of immobilized reagents and flow techniques in multi-step organic synthesis. This work now incorporates flow chemistry for multistep organic synthesis applications.
