On Monday, 25 April a group of leading researchers will mark World Malaria Day and the global drive to ‘End Malaria for Good’. Philippe Guérin from the WorldWide Antimalarial Resistance Network (WWARN) will join Adrian Hill from the Jenner Institute, Dominic Kwiatkowski from MalariaGen, Katherine Battle from the Malaria Atlas Project (MAP) and Nick White from the Wellcome Trust Mahidol Oxford Research Unit (MORU) in Bangkok. The speakers will present their latest projects and help us to understand the unique and interconnected findings of their research. We’ll explore how innovative research and multi-disciplinary collaboration can combine to support our global goal to eradicate malaria.
You are invited to join speakers at a drinks reception after the talk.
