Dear All,
It is our pleasure to announce the WG1 WG2 HG7 Thematic Workshop: " Novel leads and drugs for vector borne diseases: Targets and off targets (toxicity and ecotoxicity) and mechansim of action” that will take place next September 19-20 2024 at the National Hellenic Research Foundation, Athens, Greece.
The official anouncement will soon be published, as the workshop is open to all scientists.
As usual, we will do our best to support as many attendants as possible. For that we need to proceed in two directions. In one side we have to finish the reimboursements for june and july events (Naples training school, Rome YRI workshop and Ofxord Conference). If you attended any of them as "eligible for reimboursement", please proceed claiming your expenses ASAP.
In the other side we would like to know who is planning to attend the Athens Workshop and how much that will cost.
PREREGISTRATION before August 5th can be performed: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSflZJMFa4m6QXa5B9ZxXCZp8doOurXLk2pJh71SK9rPziJaHw/viewform?usp=sharing
In case you need a letter for VISA application, please write the letter yourself and send it to the Chair (Maria Paola COSTI ) who will follow up on that with you.

Description
We are excited to announce the international workshop “Novel leads and drugs for vector borne diseases: Targets and off targets (toxicity and ecotoxicity) and mechanism of action” organized in the context of the COST ACTION 2111-OneHealthdrugs – “One Health drugs against parasitic vector borne diseases in Europe and beyond”. The COST Action network aims to coordinate the discovery of drugs that stop vector-borne infections in both human and veterinary settings according to the principles of the optimal profile for these organisms, increasing quality and reducing environmental impact.
The workshop will be held from Thursday, September 19th, to Friday, September 20th ,2024, in Athens, Greece, at the National Hellenic Research Foundation. The workshop is jointly organized by WG1 “Compound libraries coordination and integration of compound design”, WG2 “Integration of early phase studies and low environmental impact actions”, and HG7 “Drug chemistry advancements in biodegradability including prediction” of the COST Action CA21111 OneHealthDrugs.
The workshop seeks to provide up to date information and integration strategy on sustainable drug discovery for vector borne diseases (VBDs). Special emphasis will also be given to new targets for VBDs and methods to study their engagement as well as on biodegradability and toxicity aspects pinpointing the effect on the environment. This collaborative event will provide a platform for scientists, academics, and industry professionals to share insights, methodologies, and advancements in the pursuit of environmentally conscious antiparasitic drug discovery.
We look forward to your participation and the submission of your abstract and we are delighted to welcome you in Athens to this intellectually rewarding meeting.
