Iron-Infection Interactions: studies of the link between iron metabolism and infectious diseases of global significance [ 2012 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr SantRayn Pasricha (Principal investigator)

Brief description Anaemia, malaria and HIV affect millions of people worldwide, but interactions between these conditions are poorly understood. A haematologist with training in public health, my interest is in finding ways to control the enormous global burden of anaemia. My research will focus on how iron status influences infection with malaria and HIV. It will provide evidence for anaemia control guidelines and help improve global policies for controlling iron deficiency where these infections coexist.
