Malaria-Testing a New Vaccine. The Science Squad
Description
Malaria kills over 1 million people each year globally. Recent attempts at a new vaccine, including Bill Gates and GlaxoSmithKline's malaria vaccine trial, have proven unsuccessful. However, a new vaccine developed in Ireland is now undergoing clinical trials. In this Science Squad episode, we meet researchers at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and in Oxford testing whether the vaccine produces an immunological response to malaria in the body.
