\n \n\n \n \n \nA recent study by NDM researchers and collaborators estimates that nearly 1 in 4 people with P. falciparum malaria in Africa are at risk of receiving too low a dose of artemisinin combination therapies (ACTs). This increases the chance of treatment failure and the risk that malarial parasites develop resistance to the drug they were exposed to.

\n \n\n \n \n \nA recent study by the researchers at NDM\u2019s Big Data Institute, and Centre for Human Genetics, showed that many mutations, a much higher number than previously thought, are the result of self-induced damage to our cells. The study shows that mutations resulting from deliberate DNA breaks increase the risk of many conditions, including autism, and certain types of cancer.
