From the Ted Talk by Faith Osier: The key to a better malaria vaccine

Unscramble the Blue Letters


There are 200 miollin clinical cases of falciparum malaria in Africa every year, rinuetslg in half a million deaths. I would like to talk to you about malaria vaccines. The ones that we have made to date are simply not good enough. Why?

We've been working at it for 100 plus years. When we started, technology was limited. We could see just a tiny fraction of what the parasite really looked like. Today, we are awash with technology, advanced imaging and omics platforms — genomics, transcriptomics, ptiecomros. These tools have given us a clearer view of just how clpoemx the paisatre really is.
