so if you read digg or the seattle times, you might have seen an article on getting paid from $2000 to $4000 to catch malaria if you live around seattle. i figured since i live rather close to the seattle biomedical research institute, i would email them and see what they said... this is their response:
"Thank you for expressing an interest to participate in malaria clinical trials.
Seattle Biomedical Research Institute is excited to partner with the Malaria Vaccine Initiative, a global program of PATH, to establish the Malaria Clinical Trials Center (MCTC) in Seattle. The MCTC will allow testing of new investigational vaccines and drugs to combat malaria, a disease that kills over 1 million people each year, most of them young children in Africa. The MCTC represents a unique opportunity to impact the global burden of malaria by bringing new effective tools to the world.
If you are between the ages of 18 and 45, are generally healthy and have never had malaria, you may qualify to participate in this effort. We anticipate the first study to begin in 18-24 months and will begin actively recruiting volunteers closer to that time.
If you would like to receive periodic updates by email on the status of malaria vaccine research at SBRI and the development of the MCTC, please respond to this email with your contact information and use the subject header ?please add me to your malaria distribution list.? If you are interested in volunteering for a malaria clinical trial please check back periodically on our website www.sbri.org for updates on the completion of the Malaria Clinical Trials Center and anticipated start date of upcoming malaria clinical trials.
Thanks again for your interest in supporting our efforts to combat this important global health problem. Solving a problem this big requires that we all pitch in."
so would you offer your body, knowing that you could be cured, to be infected with a possibly deadly disease?
