    Hi Marigoldh!

    I am working on a malaria vaccine that I hope will protect people from getting malaria. I am testing it in the lab at the moment, but I plan to do a clinical trial in people within the next two years. This will test whether the vaccine is safe, if the vaccine can stimulate the immune system to fight malaria, and whether the vaccine will protect people. So I hope I am close to finding out if my idea for a malaria vaccine will work!

    Thanks for your questions – K
