Brief description The WHO estimates there were ~189 million clinical cases & 584,000 malaria-related deaths in 2013. This translates to ~1,600 child deaths daily. There is no licensed malaria vaccine & all available drugs are associated with resistant parasites. This enormous health issue is driving the search for new therapies. We address this issue by identifying new drug candidates for malaria prevention, with unique modes of action to treatment drugs in order to overcome issues of parasite drug resistance.
