There is a pressing need to accelerate the development of new antimalarials that can treat Plasmodium falciparum parasites that have acquired resistance to existing first-line drugs. Aimed at identifying new areas of collaboration and new approaches to overcome resistance, Keystone Symposia is organizing a three-day meeting that will bring together experts in drug discovery and development, mechanistic studies into drug modes of action and mechanisms of resistance, and field-based clinician-investigators and modelers. The participants will have the chance to inform attendees on the multiple aspects required to proceed from drug discovery through to development and learn about the current status of ACT efficacy in the field and how to respond to challenges posed by the emergence of antimalarial resistance.
Important dates:
- Scholarship Deadline – December 16, 2021
- Abstract Deadline – January 6, 2022
- Discounted Registration Deadline – February 9, 2022
- Global Health Award Deadline – March 21, 2022
