An improved Malaria vaccine given via microneedle patch

Researchers at UCC have developed a microneedle-based patch that results in increased vaccine-induced protection against malaria infection using lower doses of vaccine in pre-clinical testing. The lead researcher, Dr Anne Moore, heads to Silicon Valley next week to meet venture capitalists and leading technology companies with a view to commercialising the research. The microneedle-based patch
