Daniel Irimia and Anh Hoang of Massachusetts General Hospital in the U.S. seek to develop a microfluidic device that can be used to screen anti-malarial drugs for the development of drug resistance with single cell resolution. The device will be validated using a subset of anti-malarial compounds from the Malaria Box. The ability to monitor single cells for resistance will greatly reduce the time needed to screen drugs for acquired resistance, allowing for much earlier and more accurate assessment of effective drugs to control and eradicate malaria.
