New weapons in the war against malaria

Summary:

The April edition of the Research*EU magazine takes an in-depth look at nine projects that focus on Malaria. These projects are followed by our usual thematic sections on health, society, energy, environment, aquatic resources, industry, information and communication technology, security and fundamental research. The magazine closes with a list of upcoming events hosted by or involving EU-funded research projects.
