Last month, in a speech before the Council on Foreign Relations in New
York, GSK's CEO Andrew Witty pledged to expand his company's pool of
patented compounds that others can use for free to try to develop
medicines for neglected tropical diseases , and to hand control to a
nonprofit group.
Glaxo will give up to 60 outside scientists from universities and
foundations access to a lab facility it calls the first-ever Open Lab,
for developing new medicines for diseases plaguing poor countries.
Witty also said Glaxo will give scientists around the globe free access
to data on 13,500 drug compounds that show some effectiveness against
malaria, one of the most devastating tropical diseases.
