The World Health Organisation has selected a University of Queensland venom researcher to help tackle the global scourge of snakebite – a disease that kills hundreds of thousands, with many more maimed.
Associate Professor Bryan Fry, who has studied snake venom in 40 countries over the last 25 years, has joined a select committee of global experts assembled by the WHO after recognising snakebite as a neglected tropical disease in 2017.
