MALARIA VACCINE: COULD THIS “INGREDIENT” BE THE SECRET TO SUCCESS?

Melbourne researchers have identified a microscopic “ingredient” that can be added to a malaria vaccine for efficient protection against the deadly pathogen.

The research team co-led by Imaging CoE Chief Investigator Prof. Bill Heath and Dr Daniel Fernandez-Ruiz from the Doherty Institute (a joint venture between the University of Melbourne and The Royal Melbourne Hospital) and A/Prof Irina Caminschi from the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute – believe this breakthrough advances our understanding of the requirements for protective immunity to malaria; a significant question that has been baffling scientists for decades.
