Global molecular exploration of liver fluke [ 2014 - 2016 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Robin Gasser (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Patrick Tan

Brief description Compounded by massive global food and water shortages, neglected tropical disease (NTD) pathogens have a devastating and long-term impact on billions of humans worldwide. Unlocking the fundamental molecular biology of these pathogens, particularly carcinogens, employing a raft of Frontier Technologies, will lead to new ways of controlling NTDs and will have substantial outcomes through the development of new drugs, vaccines and/or diagnostic tests. We will use cutting-edge molecular technologies to tackle this area head-on.
