...necessitates significant contributions from basic science, while global health delivery science is rooted in the social sciences—the opportunities for productive synergies between NTD and delivery research initiatives are numerous, including collaborations in the development of research capacity overseas. Many Harvard professors, including Jim Kim, Bruce Walker, Dyann Wirth, Sue Goldie and Paul Farmer have made extensive contributions to these fields...
...type were more likely to have a severe case of malaria with high inflammation and fever. Daily said that the experiment showed that “parasites can sense the environment and respond. Up to this study, it was not clear that this was the case.” Dyann F. Wirth, co-director of the Infectious Disease Initiative at the Broad Institute and the chair of the HSPH department of immunology and infectious diseases, said that combining different research techniques was the key to the breakthrough. For recent research, faculty profiles, and a look at the issues facing Harvard...
...Health (HSPH), explored new ways of combatting the disease that claims more than one million lives—mostly young African children—every year. “There are over 200 million new cases of malaria each year,” said Strong Professor of Infectious Diseases Dyann F. Wirth, who directs the Harvard Malaria Initiative. “It’s a major disease which deserves our attention.” While she said she was not sure why there has not been more success in treating and preventing malaria, Wirth asserted that it is fundamentally...
...detecting drug resistance in a malaria-causing parasite. The results of the study, released Sunday in the advance online edition of the journal Nature Genetics, may help in the fight against Plasmodium falciparum, the most deadly of the four parasites responsible for human malaria. The lead researcher, Dyann F. Wirth, who is also chair of the School of Public Health’s Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases, said that the finding could help producers of malaria vaccines respond to adaptations by the parasite in much the same way as the influenza vaccine is updated to combat changes...
...genome sequencing of Plasmodium falciparum and the initial lessons that scientists have learned about the parasite are outlined in two new journal articles by Dyann F. Wirth, director of the Harvard Malaria Initiative and professor of immunology and infectious diseases at HSPH...
