Tulane receives millions for international health and tropical medicine research

Lemma in Ethiopia, Dr. Tom Scialfa in Rwanda, Ana Perez Zaldivar in Angola and Otilia St.Charles (Haiti, but currently evacuated to Atlanta) to keep the program running. In case of Dr. Wuleta Lemma, her dedication to the maintaining the work of the program led her to spend her own money during the interim," says Kendall.

Brindley has been awarded $2.7 million from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious, NIH, diseases for a five-year cooperative study of liver cancer due to liver fluke infection. The research team will work in Khon Kaen, a region of Thailand with the highest rate of liver fluke induced cancer in the world. Twenty million people are infected with liver flukes, which have been linked with the development of liver cancer. Southeast Asia has a very high rate of liver cancer due to liver fluke infection, says Brindley. The aims of the research will be to identify the cancer causing molecules excreted by liver flukes and to analyze the severity of tissue inflammation that precedes the development of liver cancer.
