University of Kent Apr 25 2026 Researchers at the University of Kent have established a computational protocol that could accelerate the development of more effective treatments for life-threatening parasitic infections such as Chagas disease, by enabling scientists to accurately identify reactions that can result in successful drug candidates without the need for trial and error. Approximately 8 million people worldwide, mostly in Latin America, are estimated to be infected with  Trypanosoma
