Bill Gates talks about Landcnets research work in China screening active ingredients from herbal medicines to discover new effective insecticides against mosquitoes which carry the parasite that transmits malaria and keep us a step ahead of insecticide resistance.
Its disproportionate impact on the poorest, those least able to afford preventive measures and medical treatment, makes eliminating malaria a human rights priority.
Why malaria?
In 2022, malaria caused 608,000 deaths, with 76% of the victims being children under five. A child dies nearly every minute from this preventable disease.
Why malaria ?
Comprehensive R&D is crucial to stay ahead of the constantly evolving malaria parasite due to its complexity and rapid development of drug resistance, necessitating new vector control strategies.
Why R&D for malaria?
One of the core objectives of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is the global eradication of malaria and the management of infectious diseases among marginalized populations. Landcent collaborates as a research and development partner with the foundation on this initiative, contributing significantly to critical health goals. A unique Landcent initiative to combat the threat of insecticidal resistance and safeguard biodiversity and habitats. Landcent’s Active Ingredient (AI) Discovery Platform investigates without judgment and bias, natural and indigenous knowledge bases, for active ingredients to be eventually developed into biopesticides. Biopesticides constitute naturally occurring organisms or substances derived from them that have lifespan-shortening effects on disease vectors such as mosquitoes. Landcent is at the forefront of developing innovative solutions to combat malaria by exploring novel Active Ingredients (AIs) sourced from nature. These natural AIs are less toxic, biodegradable, and reduce the likelihood of resistance in non-target organisms. Leveraging our exclusive access to the world's largest natural compounds database at the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry (SIOC), our highly experienced team of 30 members has screened over 200,000 compounds in just two years. Currently, 21 of these compounds are in advanced phase trials, promising safer and more effective biopesticide solutions.
