    Model-Informed Drug Development for Malaria Therapeutics
    Andrews, KA ; Wesche, D ; McCarthy, J ; Mohrle, JJ ; Tarning, J ; Phillips, L ; Kern, S ; Grasela, T ; Insel, PA (ANNUAL REVIEWS, 2018)
    Malaria is a critical public health problem resulting in substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly in developing countries. Owing to the development of resistance toward current therapies, novel approaches to accelerate the development efforts of new malaria therapeutics are urgently needed. There have been significant advancements in the development of in vitro and in vivo experiments that generate data used to inform decisions about the potential merit of new compounds. A comprehensive disease-drug model capable of integrating discrete data from different preclinical and clinical components would be a valuable tool across all stages of drug development. This could have an enormous impact on the otherwise slow and resource-intensive process of traditional clinical drug development.
