On Sunday, September 15th, we will lose access to VEuPathDB, an important database to the Parasitology community. The recent commentary in Science illustrates how this will affect our field. Take a look!

Check out this article on artemisinin resistance that malaria parasites have developed in eastern Africa! The third section of the article focuses on our lab and the work we have done to fight the resistance. cuimc.columbia.edu/news/main…

Mainstay Malaria Drug May Be Beginning to Fail in the Horn of Africa

A study involving Columbia researchers finds that malaria parasites in Africa have developed resistance to artemisinin drugs, which could worsen malaria’s impact if partner drugs fail in the future.
