Foundation for Neglected Disease Research

Foundation for Neglected Disease Research (FNDR) is an India-based not-for-profit biotech R&D organization focused on infectious diseases with high socio-economic impact, especially neglected and under-served indications. The organization discovers and develops therapeutics, diagnostics, and devices for tuberculosis, nontuberculous mycobacterial disease, drug-resistant bacterial and fungal infections, rabies, and viral threats with pandemic potential. FNDR also operates a preclinical contract research business, offering BSL-2 and BSL-3 in vitro and animal studies for drugs, vaccines, and virucidal testing. Its pipeline spans hit identification through Phase 2, with disclosed clinical-stage programs including TBA-7371 and chloroquine-based tuberculosis regimens. The group works in a collaborative, grant-supported model and has partnered with academic, governmental, nonprofit, and industry organizations globally.
