Malaria: Confronting Challenges From Drug Discovery to Treatment

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.

Topics

• 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

Who should Attend

• Field-based clinician-investigators and modelers
• Experts in drug discovery and development, mechanistic studies into drug modes of action and mechanisms of resistance
