Decoding disease: A bioinformaticians's journey with Dr Jacob Westaway

In this episode, we peel back the layers of a devastating disease – malaria. But this isn't your typical scientific exploration. We're venturing beyond the lab bench to meet the researcher unravelling its mysteries with Dr Jacob Westaway.

Dr Jacob isn't just another scientist. He's a bioinformatician, wielding the power of computers to unlock the secrets of the parasite Plasmodium, responsible for malaria in both humans and monkeys of Southeast Asia. We'll explore not just the "what" and "how" of malaria but the "why" behind his dedication to this critical research.
