Multi-million-pound award to counter “silent killer” disease
A deadly disease that can kill victims who may never know they were infected is to be targeted by University of Dundee scientists following a multi-million funding award.
Experts at the Wellcome Centre for Anti-Infectives Research aim to develop a new drug treatment for Chagas disease, which can live in a person’s body for decades before killing without warning.
The terrifying disease is estimated to affect millions of people, with current treatments both limited in effectiveness and coming with significant side-effects.
