ans will depend on legal and economic agreements with Takeda, which are being sought through the World Health Organization," said Urbina.

The Venezuelan started doing basic research on Chagas disease 25 years ago, concerned by the neglect of this tropical disease by the pharmaceutical industry and most academic research centers in Latin America and throughout the world. "Only one percent of the new drugs introduced to the market in the last 25 years were developed to treat [tropical] diseases, despite the enormous unmet need for such compounds," he said. "Only 10 percent of current global health research is directed to address the medical needs of 90 percent of the human population."
