HIV drugs protect against malaria

QIMR research:

"Scientists from The Queensland Institute of Medical Research (QIMR) have found that a group of HIV drugs known as protease inhibitors may also be effective for treating or preventing malaria."

QIMR has made some very interesting breakthroughs with cancer treatments and treatments of debilitating and destructive diseases. They seem to use the same approach as the cancer researchers in Adelaide. They are very persistent, thorough, not frightened to "think outside the square" and very calm and methodical in their approach. You hear little about them but they come up with some great approaches and treatments. I'd like to see the government back far more of our breakthroughs because it's one area we are consistently good and our researchers get no accolades and no really open praise. They are quite unassuming too...they don't ask for it!
