Research Areas

Patient-centred research is the core of our research activities, spanning 5 research units and over 50 research sites in Asia and Africa.

Billions of people live in malaria endemic countries; we aim to improve health through research that addresses this threat.

Paying attention to the public and communities is essential to make our programmes ethical and trustworthy, to maximise their success and impact.

Greater participation and inclusivity, as well as recognising the value of diversity, lead to fairer opportunities to fulfil everybody's potential.

Determinants of Implementation of a Critical Care Registry in Asia: Lessons From a Qualitative Study
Posted 10/03/2023. Timo Tolppa and CCAA colleagues conducted a qualitative study across 4 South Asian countries to understand the implementation of a critical care registry, which is used to enable quality improvement and research. Implementation was possible due to motivated champions, a supportive community of practice and efforts to fit the registry with existing practice.
Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) Measurement Using Biosensors by Community-Based Village Malaria Workers and Hospital Laboratory Staff in Cambodia: A Quantitative Study
Posted 07/03/2023. Understanding the Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity of vivax patients is critical for the appropriate choice of radical cure regimens for vivax malaria. Village malaria workers (VMWs) in rural Cambodia are frequently the first and only health care providers for malaria patients but lack G6PD diagnostics. Bipin Adhikari and colleagues found that after training VMWs can use biosensors to assess G6PD activity just as well as laboratory technicians.
