Four years after the creation of WIPO Re:Search, a consortium launched by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and BIO Ventures for Global Health (BVGH) as well as pharmaceutical companies and public sector research institutions, the initiative is thriving and has been making substantial progress in contributing to the global efforts to fight neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), malaria, and tuberculosis (TB). To date, over a hundred research collaboration agreements under WIPO Re:Search have been facilitated by BVGH. And, thanks to sponsorship by the Government of Australia, a fellowship program was started in 2013 that enables developing country scientists to spend one to 12 months in corporate and university research and development (R&D) labs. This Report documents the experiences of the six scientists who participated in the fellowship program, which was renewed with a doubling of resources for the period 2016-2018.
