Policy Cures Research is a not-for-profit global health think tank.
Their mission is to promote the advancement of health for the world’s poorest people and populations.

They provide research, information, decision-making tools and strategic analysis for those involved in the creation of new pharmaceuticals for neglected diseases such as malaria, TB, HIV, pneumonia, sleeping sickness and helminth infections. Their focus is on providing governments, funders and civil society organisations with the information they need to make optimal research and development (R&D) policy and funding decisions for diseases in developing countries.

Experienced
Previously the research and policy team within Policy Cures, Policy Cures Research became an independent organisation in September 2016. Along with extensive experience in developing world health and public policy, our expertise covers the full spectrum of neglected disease product development, from R&D activities and portfolios, to developers, business models, funding, incentives, pricing and access issues.
