#MeetOurResearchers video interview with Nick White, Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit MORU - Improving the treatment of #InfectiousDiseases    Nick tells us about MORU’s research on recent improvements in the treatment of #COVID19 and #malaria.   With nearly 50 years in malaria research and more recent focus on COVID-19, research at MORU led to more effective treatments. In COVID-19, #trials debunked drugs like ivermectin or favipiravir, but validated remdesivir, molnupiravir and protease inhibitors. As malaria faces drug resistance, #TripleTherapies offer hope. MORU research aims for tangible health impacts, with an approach applicable to other infectious diseases.   Watch the video 👉 https://lnkd.in/e-NK5sSq

Researchers at the University of Oxford and their collaborators, including the Serum Institute of India, have published an innovative method to identify falsified vaccines without opening the vaccine vial. The new method analyses the vaccine vial label and its adhesive and therefore allows the vaccine vials to be retained in the supply chain. Furthermore, the study has shown that the technique can also differentiate genuine Covid-19 vaccine liquid from falsified vaccine surrogates, using a recently published method developed using non-Covid vaccines. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 10.5% of medicines worldwide in low- and middle-income countries are substandard or are falsified (i.e. fake) medicines made by criminals. This threatens global health since the medicines and vaccines fail to prevent and treat the diseases for which they were intended, and they risk additional adverse health consequences if the ingredients used by criminals in the falsified products are harmful. The study was led by researchers & collaborators at IDDO’s Medicine Quality Research Group and Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences - University of Oxford Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery, University of Oxford STFC UKRI - Industrial Decarbonisation Challenge (IDC) World Health Organization Serum Institute of India Pvt.

🌍🌍On this World NTD Day, the #GlobalHealthMatters podcast is diving deep into the conversation around neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) with two incredible guests: Mulikat Okanlawon and Claire Jeantet.  Mulikat is a #noma survivor, as well as being the co-founder of Elysium Noma Survivors Association. Claire is a filmmaker and noma expert, most commonly known for the films - Surviving Noma (2020) and Restoring Dignity (2019). Our goal in this episode is to explore the lived experience of individuals affected by disability from NTDs and highlight the importance of including them  in conversations around shaping health agendas. Tune in to hear their powerful insights and what’s being done to combat these diseases 👉https://lnkd.in/duyPzGKE Dr Garry Aslanyan Listen now and stay tuned for part 2! __________________________________ Check out a trailer for Restoring Dignity (2019) here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dP89FUKX Watch a trailer for Surviving Noma (2020) here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dKyQg6WK #WorldNTDDay #NTDs #HealthForAll #PodcastEpisode #GlobalHealth #PublicHealth #HealthAwareness #NeglectedTropicalDiseases #noma #nomavirus
