The Tropical Disease Research Center is evaluating the in vitro and in vivo anti-malarial and anti-trypanosomal activities of natural materials provided by our institute to develop promising treatments for protozoal diseases including malaria and African trypanosomiasis. We also search for the inhibitors of targetable protozoa-specific enzymes and investigate the modes of action of the anti-protozoal compounds we have found.
