Sir Brian Mellor Greenwood, CBE, FRCP, FRS (born 1938) is a British physician, biomedical research scientist, academic, and recipient of the first Hideyo Noguchi Africa Prize. Greenwood is the Manson Professor of Clinical Tropical Medicine, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.〔Greenwood, Brian. ( "Editorial: Treating Malaria in Africa," ) ''British Medical Journal'' - BMJ 2004;328:534-535 (6 March), .〕 ==Malaria research and mitigation== Greenwood's career has focused on mitigating the effects of malaria and research.〔 In his ten years experience working in Nigeria, and his fifteen years as the head of the Medical Research Council Laboratories in the Gambia, his main research interests were malaria and infections caused by capsulated bacteria such as the meningococcus (''Neissera meningitidis'').〔Dawood, Richard M. (2003). ( ''Travellers' Health: How to Stay Healthy Abroad,'' p. 110. )〕 Malaria's stubborn resistance to control and treatment has been demonstrated in his West African clinical experience.〔Greenwood, Brian M. (1992). ( "Malaria chemoprophylaxis in endemic regions," ''Malaria: Waiting for the Vaccine,'' pp. 83 )-101.〕 Setbacks in a series of promising drug treatments have proven frustrating.〔French, Howard W. ( "Scientist Says Tests Show New Vaccine May Prevent Malaria," ) ''New York Times.'' September 22, 1994; French, Howard W. ( "Hope in Africa; Anti-Malarial Vaccine May Be Breakthrough," ) ''New York Times.'' September 15, 1994.〕 Although successes in research for a reliable vaccine have continued to prove elusive, Dr. Greenwood has also persisted in promoting a simpler preventive approach. He has been in the forefront of those who are encouraging the use of chemically treated mosquito nets to shield sleeping villagers from attack by the malaria-infected insects.〔( "Nets Cut Malaria Deaths, Study Says," ) ''New York Times.'' July 16, 1991.〕 Greenwood was knighted in the 2012 New Year Honours for services to malaria research in Africa. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brian Greenwood」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
