They are a source of\ndisease s that often kill – yet medicines for these diseases have\ngenerally been adopted from veterinary use and have not been\noptimized for humans. This lecture provides an introduction to\nparasitic diseases of poverty and des cribes a novel drug discovery\nprocess – involving scientists living in th e most affected areas –\nthat has been implemented in South Africa and Bot swana. The\nintegration of multiple levels of development is a significant \nchallenge – but one with great rewards.\n DTSTART:20120829T180000Z DTEND:20120829T190000Z SUMMARY:Broadcast - Cutting Edge: Medicines for Neglected Tropical Diseases : Reversing the Equation URL:/channels/event/broadcast-cutting-edge-medicines-n eglected-tropical-diseases-reversing-equation-216743 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
