Pathophysiology and treatment of malaria in our region [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Nicholas Anstey (Principal investigator)

Brief description Malaria continues to kill 420,000 people/year. I will lead a team of clinical scientists in identifying how each of the different malaria parasites cause damage to small blood vessels, kidneys and other organs, and will test whether two different drugs can improve these processes and reduce illness. Many of my previous research findings have changed malaria treatment in Australia and across SE Asia, and, where appropriate, I will use new research findings to improve treatments.
