Thank you for your email. That is really great! I fully agree with the idea and
I would be very interested to be a collaborator in this network. I have started
discussing the idea with my colleagues at Laboratory of Biomedical Research at Ahfad University

<p class="ecxMsoNormal">Dear all,</p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal">Invitation to participate in a global pathology
network for
research and training in leishmaniasis (LeishPathNet)</p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal">You may recall the Dormy House meeting in 2008
and some of
the plans we put forward?<span style=""> </span>Over
the past
couple years, I have also spoken more to a few of you about one
idea that was
formulated at Dormy, namely of setting up a digital pathology
network. I have
also had numerous discussions with the major equipment
manufacturers to see if
any of them would be supportive of helping us to develop such an
initiative.<span style=""> </span>There have
been two major
develoments recently.<span style=""> </span><span>First,
Carl Zeiss
is willing to work with us to set up an integrated global digital
pathology
network (providing a significant financial and technical
contribution) and
second, the Wellcome Trust is willing to review a pre-proposal to
fund the
initiative through their new Biomedical Resources Grant scheme (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/Funding/Biomedical-science/Funding-schemes/Strategic-awards-and-initiatives/wtdv031727.htm">http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/Funding/Biomedical-science/Funding-schemes/Strategic-awards-and-initiatives/wtdv031727.htm</a>)
.</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal">I have attached an outline of the project that
I had sent to
the Trust for their initial views, which I think is reasonably
self-explanatory.
<span style=""> </span>They appeared very
enthusiastic!<span style=""> </span>The main
question now is whether enough of
you are still supportive? [ I will also be sending this email to
others, but please feel free to circulate ]<br>
</p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="">I think the
project will be
challenging, but success could have a real impact on the way we
conduct
business. It should serve not only as a vehicle to enhance
research in
leishmaniasis, but the model would be equally applicable across
a broad range
of diseases and global challenges (with leishmaniasis setting
the pace).</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="">If we wish to
proceed, the requirements
are that we submit a pre-proposal to the Trust by <b style="">Oct 18<sup>th</sup> 2011</b>.<span style="">
</span>This pre-proposal is short (4 sections of 350 words) and
requires
letters of support from the community.<span style=""> </span><span style=""> </span></span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="">If you are
supportive of the idea that
we try to take this forward (and there is plenty of scope for
later iteration
of the detail), I would be grateful if you could please provide
me with a
letter of support by <b style="">September
12<sup>th</sup>
2011, </b>indicating whether you would like to be a network
partner if the bid
is successful.<span style=""> </span>You could
also be
supportive but not wish to become directly involved at this
stage, and such
letters are equally valuable. Your letter might also stress the
added value
that the network could provide, its importance for research and
training and/or
for progressing the translational agenda.<span style="">
</span>It would also be an opportunity to indicate whether your
group (or
institute, if multiple groups) would be interested in bidding to
be one of the
initial ‘designated laboratories’. <span style=""> </span></span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="">If there is
sufficient support to
proceed and if subsequently the pre-proposal is successful (we
will know on 22<sup>nd</sup>
Nov), then I will need a few volunteers to help finalise the
full proposal,
which will be due on Jan 26<sup>th</sup> 2012.<span style="">
</span>A funding decision will be made on May 26<sup>th</sup>
2012. </span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="">Best wishes
and of course I am happy to
discuss any points further (though I will be out of the UK from
Aug 10 –Sept
12)</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="">Paul</span></p>
