Completed launch meeting of West African Network for Surveillance and mitigation of Antimalarial drug Resistance (WANSAR) in Bamako. Adopted the Constitution, ToR and a Roadmap for WANSAR. Looking forward to working together as a Region @endmalaria @MrtcParasito @gatesfoundation

I was delighted to meet with his Excellency @AngusMckeeUK Ambassador of UK in Mali. Warm discussions on science translation and beyond. This was a follow up of a day-long visit by DELTAS Africa Directors at @FCDOGovUK in London. Many thanks @wellcometrust @SciforAfrica

✨ Introducing the members of @ScienceBoard_UN! 🔬 @djimdeab is a leading epidemiologist in @MrtcParasito and @ComUSTTB, and President of @PDNA11, advancing drug-resistance surveillance and pathogen genomics capacity across Africa. 📣 Read more: tinyurl.com/2s4y345c

It was an enriching exchange with many colleagues, students and friends @EsteeTorok @SciforAfrica @PDNA11

These champions are on a mission to make malaria a thing of the past. See what the Calestous Juma Fellows have to say about how African-led innovation is advancing the fight across the continent. Stand with them and their science, and share their stories ⬇️

📢 Exciting News: On #WorldMalariaDay, we celebrate Prof Abdoulaye Djimdé @djimdeab, DELTAS Africa II Grantee & Calestous Juma Science Leadership Fellow of the Science for Africa Foundation, honoured with the 2025 Hideyo Noguchi Africa Prize. The award recognises his work in #malaria research & dedication to nurturing emerging scientists in Africa. Read more👉:scienceforafrica.foundation/… @wellcometrust @DELGEME1

Congratulations to Dr Laurent for obtaining his new grant, aimed at comparing two treatments to fight Plasmodium malariae in Mali. This innovative study could play a key role in improving treatments against this form of malaria. For more details, please👇🏼 cureswithinreach.org/2025/01…

It costs $12,690.00 to publish open access at Nature. They are literally uploading a PDF file.

Congratulations to Moses Nkechukwu Ikegbunam and Éniyóu Cheryll Oriero, recipients of the inaugural Dominic Kwiatkowski Genomic Epidemiology of Malaria Award! 👏 @IkegbunamN and @DrNiyo are inspirational researchers with incredible potential who are carrying on Dominic’s legacy.

Fantastic panel discussion to finish the scientific programme on Day 3 at #GEM24 Great discussion on dreams for the future, including decentralisation, data standards, communication with policymakers, whole genome sequencing, and funding sustainability.

Happy to attend #GEM24 where two former @DELGEME1 MSc students, now PhD students presented impressive data. Fantastic to be updated on the latest on malaria genomics, see old friends and meet new ones @SciforAfrica @deusishe @PDNA11 @MrtcParasito

I was thrilled to visit the @wanecam_2 site of Sabou @GrasBurkina a few days before KALUMA SIV. I saw a team ready for the upcoming Phase III trials of KAF156/LUMsdf @EDCTP @Novartis @MedsforMalaria @MrtcParasito

Refreshing to visit field sites, meet with communities and our @wanecam_2 frontline staff in preparation for Phase 3 KALUMA trials. Thanks to all for your tireless work @EDCTP @SciforAfrica @MrtcParasito @gatesfoundation
