Discovering how a novel anti-malarial drug series rapidly kills parasites [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2023 ]

Research Grant

Brief description We have developed a new set of highly potent anti-malarial drugs but we do not know how they work. Identifying how these compounds work is important for improving their effectiveness and safety. We will discover how these drugs kill parasites by using a number of cutting edge methods that could also be useful for discovering how other drugs work. Data generated will progress these compounds along the drug development pipeline which urgently needs a constant supply of new antimalarials.
