Who We Are
DeWorm3 is a global project consisting of partners around the world working together towards a common goal of interrupting the transmission of soil-transmitted helminths (STH). From 2015-2020, the Natural History Museum, London (NHM), a world leader in the research of STH and Neglected Tropical Diseases, hosted the project and coordinated this global effort to establish the evidence necessary for informing global implementation guidelines in countries aiming to eliminate STH. See the NHM’s DeWorm3 project archives here.
The University of Washington Department of Global Health is currently hosting the project and coordinating the remaining phases of this important work with DeWorm3 partners. Trial sites and support units are led by investigators with extensive research training and expertise in tropical medicine and infectious diseases.
