Challenges in Tropical Disease Control Efforts with Dr. Piero Olliaro
For over 20 years, Dr. Piero L. Olliaro has played key roles in the development, implementation, and evaluation of new interventions for malaria, tuberculosis, leishmaniasis and a number of other parasitic diseases. In particular, he coordinated the studies that lead to the adoption of artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) as the new first-line treatment for malaria. In his current position, Piero manages an international portfolio of research for helminths and other neglected tropical diseases at the UNICEF/UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme on Research and Training in Tropical Diseases based in Geneva where he lives with his family.
