Funded Activity Summary

Each year 3.2 billion people are exposed to the threat of malaria, resulting in about 2 million deaths annually. Deaths due to malaria often result from complications that affect the brain; this is called cerebral malaria . We still do not understand enough about the changes that cause cerebral malaria, so this project will investigate some new ideas about how cerebral malaria develops. Our aim is to identify new therapeutic targets that could help people survive this fatal disease.
