Chagas disease: how to prove treatments work? | Episode 4

🤔 How do you know if a treatment worked... when you can’t even see the parasite? That’s the challenge with Chagas disease. The parasite can hide in the body for years (even decades), sometimes leading to sudden death. So how do researchers know if the treatment they are testing actually worked? 🔍 They track antibodies. But here’s the problem: with current tests, it can take decades to see antibody levels drop and we don’t have that much time when developing new medicines. 🎥 In Episode 4 of our #DrugDiscoveryExplained series, our Senior Discovery Project Manager, Fanny Beltran Escudié, explains how our new test can help us predict much faster whether a treatment is working — meaning the parasite is gone, and the patient is cured. 👉 Dive deeper into the full story here: https://stories.dndi.org/drug-discove...
