Centre for Snakebite Research & Interventions

LSTM will be placing greater emphasis on our other social media channels. Follow the CSRI on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/company/centre… or follow LSTM's other channels lstm.ac/m/socials. We appreciate your continued support.

Happy Chinese New Year! This year is particularly special because it's #YearOfTheSnake. People born in the year of the snake are considered intelligent and tenacious, two personality traits shared by our researchers. May 2025 bring us all health, happiness and success! 🐍

@K_SRIC is working closely with the community, including Community Health Promoters, to develop context-specific locally driven solutions for snakebite prevention, early response and management. #communityeducation #communityhealth #savinglivesandlimbs #preventingsnakebite

On #WorldNTDDay we are in the Amazonas region of Brazil working to set up a clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of new prehospital treatments for #snakebite - a NTD that causes over 100,000 deaths annually in the tropics @CSRIatLSTM @LSTMnews

Today is #worldntdday2025! @primateresearch we continue to conduct translational research on NTDs with a focus on improving diagnostic tools, drugs and vaccine development towards the realisation of Universal Health Coverage #EndNTDs #UniteActEliminate

Now online! This collection showcases the latest snakebite research from around the world, outlining progress toward the @WHO’s goals of reducing snakebite envenoming-related deaths & disabilities by 50% by 2030 Read more: rstmh.org/news-blog/blog… #WorldNTDDay #NTDs

Today, Kilifi and Kitui counties hosted the #WorldNTDDay2025 celebrations, reinforcing the urgent need for community-driven action, stronger healthcare systems and collaboration across sectors to combat Neglected Tropical Diseases. #uniteacteliminate #endneglect #snakebites

This #WorldNTDDay, we reaffirm our commitment to tackling Neglected Tropical Diseases, including snakebite envenoming, which continues to impact vulnerable communities. To #EndTheNeglect, we must empower communities, invest in local solutions & ensure access to treatment.

Snakebite is a Neglected Tropical Disease. Each year, there are 1.8m – 2.7m cases of snakebite envenoming and 81,000 – 138,000 deaths. These could be easily prevented and treated. This #WorldNTDDay, we reaffirm our commitment to tackling snakebite envenoming. #UniteActEliminate

Remarks from @adinoh Deputy Director KSRIC, as we gear up to commemorate #worldntdday2025 #EndTheNeglect #calltoaction #uniteacteliminate

Happening Tomorrow ! @K_SRIC @primateresearch will be joining other stakeholders in commemorating #WorldNTDDay2025 at Marafa Level 4 Hospital, Kilifi County.

Research by @CSRIatLSTM and partners is highlighted in @TheEconomist. New approaches, from supercharged antibodies to AI-designed proteins, could transform treatment for snakebite. Click below or find out more on our website: buff.ly/4jvXZIY buff.ly/40HYI2d

The @SBE_Alliance, proudly supported by LSTM and @wellcometrust, is calling for grant proposals on understanding and tackling snakebite envenoming in Africa. Multiple grants of up to £100,000 are available. Follow the link below to find out more.

Yesterday we hosted our "Vibe with the Vipers" Happy Hour event @COR_NTD where we discussed our ongoing work and the now-live Open Grants which can be found on our website! Thank you to everyone who joined us! #beatNTDs #InCORTNTD #SnakeBite

We are excited to announce our first Open Grants call has now gone live! These grants will focus on the burden and treatment of snakebite venoming in Africa. If you are interested please check out our website for more details! africansnakebitealliance.com #beatNTDs #snakebite

At @COR_NTD next week in Kigali? Interested in learning more about snakebite and its challenges and related research gaps? Join the ASA for their side event on the 21st. They will also discuss their upcoming grants which will be opening SOON! #InCORNTD #beatNTDs #SnakeBite

@K_SRIC's work on snake venom, antivenom research and the plight of those affected by snakebites got featured by the NewYork Times. @CSRIatLSTM @nickcasewell @adinoh nytimes.com/2025/01/06/hea…

“[Liverpool] has a long history with tropical medicine and is now home to one of the largest biotech clusters in Europe.” @LSTMnews and @iiconNW feature in this great piece in The Observer about @LpoolCityRegion's life sciences and innovation ambitions. theguardian.com/business/2025/…
