Indian and Canadian researchers collaborate to develop new malaria drugs
November 3, 2010 -- Researchers from India and Canada have joined together to form an international malaria research consortium aimed at developing new classes of drugs against the disease. The consortium is funded by the International Science and Technology Partnerships Canada and the Indian Government's Department of Biotechnology. Three academic institutions and two private companies have formed the consortium. "In addition to developing new therapeutics, we are also bringing together existing technologies developed by the partners and combining them in new ways such that one will have the potential to boost the effectiveness of another," said Lakshmi P Kotra, director of the Centre for Molecular Design and Preformulations at the University Health Network and University of Toronto.
