Malaria: Confronting Challenges From Drug Discovery to Treatment is a conference dedicated to the development of new antimalarials that can treat Plasmodium falciparum parasites that have acquired resistance to existing first-line drugs.
Malaria: Confronting Challenges From Drug Discovery to Treatment covers topics such as:
- Preclinical and clinical models to test compounds in development
- Recent innovations in antimalarial drug discovery
- The current status of antimalarial resistance, including mechanistic studies and how they inform our understanding of drug modes of action
- The efficacy of ACTs across different endemic settings and discuss current approaches to reducing the disease burden
- New medicines, and prophylaxis, treatment and transmission-blocking strategies
Malaria: Confronting Challenges From Drug Discovery to Treatment brings together:
- Field-based clinician-investigators and modelers
- Experts in drug discovery and development, mechanistic studies into drug modes of action and mechanisms of resistance
