Description |
"Malaria is largely a preventable and curable disease that still inflicts ~200 million people a year and kills about half a million, mostly children in poor parts of the world. In our recent efforts towards understanding Structure Activity relationship in a Plasmodium protein, we came across an antigenic epitope that has potential to be a candidate for a multi-stage broad spectrum anti-malarial vaccine. In this talk, I will describe the recent findings from our lab and discuss their implications to current search for an effective vaccine against malaria." |
