New funding April 12, 2012

Congratulations Brian!

In collaboration with the Rasgon Lab, Dr. Brian Foy (Associate Professor at Colorado State University) has been awarded a new RO1 grant from the NIH to study the utility of using endectocides (drugs effective against ectoparasites such as mosquitoes) to control malaria.  Our role on the project is to develop mathematical modeling frameworks to assess the potential effect of endectocide treatment on mosquito population dynamics and malaria transmission.
