NYUAD scientists are looking for new insights into the study of malaria, a complex disease that killed 438,000 people in 2015, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. Researchers traveled to Burkina Faso to figure out how genetics might be responsible for the wide variation in the severity of the disease.

The Conversation is a video series that presents short talks by NYUAD researchers on topics ranging from Astrophysics to Art History.
