NIH awarded a project to study hookworm population diversity and drug response using genomic approaches, aiming to understand drug resistance and transmission dynamics in Ghana from 2026 to 2029.
Description
This NIH project involves genomic research on hookworm populations in Ghana, focusing on drug resistance and transmission dynamics. The project aims to develop a reference genome for Necator americanus from Africa, analyze gene flow across populations, and investigate genetic factors influencing drug susceptibility. The project is funded for FY 2026-2029, with a total award amount of $126,283.
