Collaborate with Helminthix

Helminthix is designed to bring together science, technology and translational partnerships so helminth drug discovery can move faster and with greater confidence.

There are two ways to connect with Helminthix. Personal membership is open to individuals with a strong interest in helminths, neglected tropical diseases, AI-enabled discovery, parasitology, public health, drug development, clinical trials or aligned fields. Organisational collaboration is for companies, universities, hospitals, laboratories, programmes, funders and other institutions that want to explore a formal working relationship with Helminthix.

What collaboration means

We work with assay partners, drug discovery teams, translational scientists and funders to create a shared track for parasite-targeted therapeutics. Collaboration is not just visibility; it is active data-sharing, joint decision-making and aligned progress toward early pipeline milestones.

Membership and organisational collaboration are different

Personal membership is for people. Any individual who is aligned with the Helminthix vision and has a serious interest in combatting helminth disease can request to join the member network. Members can create a profile, search for other members and share interests or capabilities with the community.

Organisational collaborators join through their organisation. This is the route for a company, university, hospital, laboratory, eradication programme, funder or consortium that wants to discuss shared projects, data generation, assay partnerships, AI drug discovery, translational development or funding strategy with Helminthix.

How we partner

• Assay labs provide functional readouts for worm viability, motility, development and resistance risk.
• Discovery platforms contribute target nomination, compound triage and early medicinal chemistry insight.
• Translational teams support pharmacology, target validation and pipeline de-risking.
• Funders and sponsors help focus resources on the most promising challenge-driven portfolios.

Why this is different

Helminthix is built to reduce fragmentation. We aim to connect the right biology, chemistry and assays so programmes can make purposeful progress, rather than producing isolated reports or disconnected experimental data.

Ready to join?

If you are joining as an individual, start with the member site. If you are contacting us on behalf of an organisation, use the contact pathway to tell us about your capability, interest and possible collaboration route. We want to hear from groups offering assay capacity, helminth biology expertise, AI-enabled discovery chemistry, clinical or implementation capacity, funding or translational development support.
