Notă biografică

Peter Kennedy is a world authority on infectious diseases of the nervous system. He trained as a medical doctor, and then a neurologist, in various institutions in London, and holds MD, PhD and DSc degrees and two masters degrees in Philosophy (M.Phil, M.Litt). One of the youngest doctors ever appointed to lead a neurology department in the UK, he has held the Burton Chair of Neurology at Glasgow University since 1987. He is a fellow of both the Academy of Medical Sciences and the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and is the co-editor of two textbooks on neurological infections and has published more than 150 scientific papers in learned journals. He became enamoured with Africa as a medical student on elective in Zambia in the 1970s, and has visited 17 times since. Now part of a major international effort to increase awareness of and funding for research into sleeping sickness, he is one of only a handful of medical doctors currently specialising in the disease and is dedicated to finding a cure.

Descriere

Human African trypanosomiasis, or sleeping sickness, continues to be largely neglected by the Western world and pharmaceutical companies. In this expos, Kennedy pens the true story of Africa's killer disease that had gone undiscovered for centuries and the doctors struggling to fight it.
