Accelerating the elimination of vector-borne diseases
Our Mission
TropIQ Health Sciences provides a state-of-the-art technology platform for accelerated discovery and development of interventions to combat vector-borne diseases, with a special focus on diseases in low and middle-income countries.
Vector-borne diseases
Vector-borne diseases represent a significant global health challenge, affecting millions of people and animals worldwide. These illnesses are transmitted through vectors—living organisms such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, and flies—that carry pathogens from one host to another. Diseases like malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus, Lyme disease, and West Nile virus cause substantial morbidity and mortality in human populations, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions where vector populations thrive. The impact extends beyond human health to affect domestic animals and livestock, compromising animal welfare and agricultural productivity. The interconnected nature of human, animal, and environmental health—often referred to as One Health—underscores the importance of collaborative efforts across disciplines to reduce the burden of these preventable yet persistent diseases.
Our Technology
By combining world-class expertise in microbiology and entomology with state-of-the-art lab automation, we identify highly effective candidate interventions.
Our platform utilizes advanced data science and machine learning to power small to large-scale screening of both small molecules and biologicals.
Pathogens & Vectors
Our central focus revolves around the mechanisms by which pathogens are transmitted by their vectors and the molecular handles that allow us to interfere with the spread of vector-borne diseases.
Our Team
TropIQ’s success is built on a highly skilled team composed of dedicated and passionate people.
We celebrate a diversity of perspectives and champion creative thinking to achieve our ambitious goals.
