isolation and identification through drug discover

1. Project Statement In order to contribute to the discovery of antimalarial drugs, extracts from Tanzanian marine organisms will be screened to identify potential compounds by the year 2007

2. Goal Discovery of antimalarial compounds from marine invertebrates as an initial step for the development of antimalarial drugs

5. Indicators Objective 2: Mapping of the identified marine invertebrates using GPS Identified marine invertebrates geographically located in Tanzanian seas

6. Indicators Objective 3: In vitro screening of identified invertebrates for potential antimalarial activity At least 50 identified marine invertebrates screened for potential antimalarial activity (by …..KEMRI)

9. Objective 6: Collaborating with national, regional and international networks in the field of antimalarial drug discovery Indicators local (IMS/ITM), regional (KEMRI) and international (LSTH, University of Botswana) institutes with which links have been established:
