A research project carried out jointly by chemists at Imperial College London in the United Kingdom and biological scientists at the Institut Pasteur/Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in France have opened the door to a promising new treatment for malaria. The researchers have successfully identified a new means to eradicate blood-borne Plasmodium parasites that cause the disease. Their research was supported in part by a European Research Council (ERC) grant.
