“The best science for the most neglected” is a phrase that defines the mission of international non-profit medical research organisation DNDi - the Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative, which is marking the twentieth anniversary of its founding this week.

After Médecins Sans Frontières won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999, it pledged the approximately $1 million USD in prize money to setting up a Neglected Diseases Fund.  

Guest: Dr Luis Pizarro, Executive Director of DNDi
