External Collaborations


In order to enhance the drug discovery efforts at GIBH, the DDP has established several international partnerships with premier scientists and institutions in the United States and China with the mission of co-developing drugs. Our international partners offer experience and innovation in drug discovery. In addition, these collaborations allow GIBH to share the risk and expenses associated with drug development. Currently, GIBH external partnership’s (Figure 5) include:

• The Center for World Health & Medicine at Saint Louis University (www.cwhm.org).
