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.

The decision is based on data from a large demonstration project CARAMAL. Lorenz von Seidlein discusses the project and its consequences with two leaders of the project in a point- counterpoint published in the Lancet infectious Diseases.
