- 8. Eliminating Malaria Will Be More Significant Than the Moon Landing • Eliminating malaria will cost more, take longer, and be more challenging than landing on the moon • It will have a greater global impact
- 9. In Science, the Key to Solving Big Problems is Team Work • Solving malaria requires multidisciplinary teams focused on – Prevention – Detection – Treatment • Teams include – Biologists, Chemists, Engineers, Physicists, Medical Personnel, NGOs, and Funding

- 12. Prevention: Idea and A Solution • Project: Wide Distribution of Bednets • Team: CWRU Center for Global Health & Diseases, UNF, NBN
- 13. Prevention: Another Idea • Project: – Develop, perform, and test virtual (in silico) screening for malaria vaccine candidates • Team: – CWRU Center for Global Health & Diseases – CWRU Department of Biochemistry – CWRU HPCC – NIH (AI079388)
- 14. Prevention: Solution • Search millions of compounds rapidly to identify potential malaria vaccines using computers
- 15. Detection: The Problem • Malaria detection by slide and microscopy is lengthy and subjective
- 16. Field Site Conditions can Compromise Detection
- 17. Detection: Idea • Project: – Exploit physical properties of malaria to develop cost-effective, field-ready device for rapid detection • Team: – CWRU Center for Global Health & Diseases – CWRU Physics – CWRU Biomedical Engineering – Wallace H.

- 19th CenturyUniversity Circle was known during the early 19th Century as Doan’s Corners, after Nathanial Doan, a member of the Connecticut Land Company, who settled his family and started a community here.The name "University Circle" began to take shape in the 1880s. Western Reserve University moved its campus from Hudson, Ohio, to Euclid Avenue in 1883. Case School of Applied Science moved from Downtown Cleveland to a site next to WRU in 1885. Their relocation led to the birth of an educational center and the creation of a new community called University Circle, named in part after these new institutions - but also the circular street intersection and trolley turnaround located Euclid Avenue and Doan Brook Boulevard (Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard today).[20]By the 1890s, the Western Reserve School of Design for Women (Cleveland Institute of Art) moved to University Circle, and the concept of developing a world-class arts and cultural center came to life. The concept became more concrete when Jeptha Wade, a trustee of Western Reserve University, set aside land for the Cleveland Museum of Art to be built in the Circle. The Historical Society (Western Reserve Historical Society) joined these institutions before the turn of the 19th to 20th century. [21][edit] 20th CenturyThe Circle began to grow rapidly in the early 20th century. The Cleveland Museum of Art opened its doors in 1916. By the 1920s and 1930s, nineteen educational and cultural institutions were located in the area, from the Cleveland Museum of Natural History to the Cleveland Hearing and Speech Center to the Cleveland Botanical Garden and others.The arrival of University Hospitals in 1931 (founded in 1866) led to health care becoming another center of innovation in University Circle. Less than one mile away from University Hospitals, the Cleveland Clinic had been serving its patients since 1921. Also in 1931 Severance Hall, home of the Cleveland Orchestra, was constructed at the corner of Euclid and East Blvd.[21] By 1950, 34 institutions had chosen University Circle as their home.[20] In 1967, Case School of Applied Science and Western Reserve University confederated to become Case Western Reserve University.[22][edit] 21st CenturyThe history of University Hospitals Case Medical Center is linked to the history of Cleveland. Founded in 1866, we were nurtured and supported by Cleveland's great industrial families of the late 19th and early 20th centuries – the same families that played key roles in the development of the city's noted civic and cultural institutions, including the Cleveland Museum of Art,
