TropIQ Health Sciences — Antimalarial Bednet Drug Screening

[Global Health R&D] Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $500,000 over two years to TropIQ Health Sciences to support Dr. Flaminia Catteruccia’s research on a novel method of malaria prevention. The project will aim to identify drugs that more effectively target the malaria parasites within mosquitoes, with the goal of adding these drugs to bednets to prevent malaria transmission. This is one of two grants we’ve made to support this work. This falls within our focus area of global health R&D.
