Research & innovation

Building evidence for
better interventions.

Our cross-disciplinary approach links laboratory research, clinical investigation and public-health priorities to address the causes and consequences of snakebite envenoming.

Research pillars

Questions that matter
to patients and communities.

We focus on complementary questions across venom science, clinical care and the wider systems that shape prevention and treatment.

Snake in its natural environment
01 / VENOM BIOLOGY

Venom & antivenom research

We study the evolution, variation and biochemical activity of snake venom across species and settings. This evidence can inform the development of more effective, targeted therapeutics.

Medical treatment materials
02 / CLINICAL RESEARCH

Understanding snakebite

We investigate how snakebite affects patients across different health settings and regions, and assess the quality of current treatments and the impact of emerging therapeutics.

Research laboratory materials
03 / PUBLIC HEALTH

Policy & health systems

We address evidence gaps, engage stakeholders and work to raise the priority of snakebite on national health agendas.

Research priorities

From findings
to meaningful change.

Research is most useful when it responds to real needs and can be translated into better services and stronger public-health action.

01

Reliable data

Improve the evidence base on incidence, access to care and treatment outcomes.

02

Quality and affordability

Support attention to safe, effective, quality-assured and affordable antivenom.

03

Research translation

Connect findings with clinical practice, public-health programmes and policy action.

Support research

Help turn evidence into better care.

Equitable research partnerships and responsible support can strengthen the evidence, capacity and collaboration needed to improve snakebite outcomes.
