I’ll always remember Dolly Parton for the fact that she donated $1 million in 2020 to the research that led to Moderna’s COVID vaccine, as well as millions more for childhood vaccine and cancer research. She was an immensely talented, kind, and giving person.

WEHI researchers have developed a point-of-care diagnostic test that could change how iron deficiency is screened worldwide: a 15-min blood test with a built-in reference line and strong agreement with laboratory standards. Now being evaluated in Sub-Saharan Africa. www.wehi.edu.au/news/rapid-t...

Chemovaccination with a late-liver-stage antimalarial induces durable immunity against malaria

Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite vaccines, in which parasites are attenuated at the liver stage, provide high efficacy but require complex manufacture and intravenous administration of high sporozoite...

A WEHI-led study has demonstrated a novel late liver-stage malaria immunisation strategy that can generate durable, multi-layered immunity using a parasite-arresting drug candidate. Mosquito bites then boosted the immune response over time. Published in @science.org

From infection to protection: Could mosquitoes help eradicate malaria?

Researchers have discovered a new way to help prevent malaria that could one day transform mosquito bites from a source of deadly infection into immunity boosters against the disease.
