Primaquine can be used to prevent the transmission of falciparum malaria from human to mosquito. Bob Taylor and colleagues at the Mahidol Oxford Research Unit (MORU) developped an age-based regimen for single low-dose primaquine to block the transmission of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa.
Scientists and designers have teamed up with young people living with HIV, to create a garden at this year\u2019s RHS Chelsea Flower Show to highlight the successes and challenges still faced by young people living with HIV.

This recent FORMA/Oxford collaboration brings together Oxford\u2019s expertise in disease molecular pathology and Ubiquitin biology, (including through the Alzheimer\u2019s Research UK Oxford Drug Discovery Institute (ODDI), the Target Discovery Institute (TDI) and the Oxford Parkinson\u2019s Disease Centre (OPDC)), and FORMA\u2019s deep expertise in small molecule drug design and development
Science blog by Dr Marco Haenssgen who discusses the application of management thinking to solving the growing global problem of antimicrobial resistance.
Congratulations to Prof Guy Thwaites, Professor of Infectious Diseases and Director, Oxford University Clinical Research Unit, Wellcome Trust Major Overseas Research Program in Vietnam and Prof Ellie Barnes, Professor of Hepatology and Experimental Medicine on their election as new Fellows of the Academy of Medical Science.
The Royal Society recognises Professor Dominic Kwiatkowski\u2019s pioneering work on malaria, and particularly the use of genomic epidemiology to understand the evolutionary arms race that is going on between human, parasite and mosquito populations in Africa and other tropical regions of the world.
Many congratulations to our close colleague, Prof Vincenzo Cerundolo, Director of the MRC Human Immunology Unit for this prestigious honour recognising his pioneering work on T cell immunology.
Pailin, a small settlement nestling in tropical rainforest near Cambodia\u2019s border with Thailand, lies at the heart of a region that has seen successive waves of resistance to malaria drugs arise in local people and then spread across the globe.
A recent publication in Nature Genetics, examined the effect of a gene called KLF14. The researchers, including Prof Mark McCarthy found that genetic variations that control KLF14 have little impact on overall weight but they have a marked impact on where in the body any excess fat is stored.
An interview with Professor Emily Ying Yang Chan, author of Building Bottom-up Health and Disaster Risk Reduction Programmes, talks about her experiences as a woman in STM and the importance of female empowerment in traditionally male-dominated fields.
ERGO is launching ALERRT, a multi-disciplinary consortium building a patient-centered clinical research network to respond to epidemics across sub-Saharan Africa.
Research led by the Centre for Tropical Medicine and Global Health, involving a new finger-prick blood test (C-reactive protein) to help nurses and doctors decide whether their patients need antibiotic treatment.
The Structural Genomics Consortium Oxford is leading a new open-access platform to generate novel high-quality reproducible and renewable antibodies for both established and novel ALS genes and variants.
Science Blog. Professor Guy Thwaites, Director of the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit, Vietnam, explains the discovery of yet another use for one of the most ubiquitous and ancient of drugs \u2013 aspirin.
Researchers recently used DNA from the 10,000-year-old \u201cCheddar Man\u201d, one of Britain\u2019s oldest skeletons, to unveil what the first inhabitants of what now is Britain actually looked like.
