The NIH has awarded a 3-year, $420,000 grant to a research team at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts to test a plant-based therapy for malaria Weathers is working with several groups in Africa to establish a new economic model for using whole plant therapy to combat malaria. She envisions local operations where farmers grow the high-producing cultivars of Artemisia that she and others have developed as a supplemental crop and deliver the leaves to processing stations, where they would be dried, pulverized, and homogenized.
