Summary

In this episode of Paul Talks Science , Paul Adepoju sits down with Adam Aspinall, Senior Director of Access & Product Management at Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) . They discuss the science and strategy behind a groundbreaking new malaria drug for newborns and young children — the first of its kind.
