New antimalarial compounds target two essential molecules required for critical stages of the parasite’s life cycle, holding promise for overcoming the threat of drug resistance

3D modelling of the mutations in TB means doctors around the world could soon tailor individual treatments for the disease in a matter of days, rather than years

The ability of this disease to mutate to nullify drugs is actually its downfall, delivering a new weapon for stopping the spread of resistance

With relatively little money and not much time, researchers are racing to find a new drug to combat malaria, before current drugs stop working
