Great to be back in Kigali after 23 (!) years, this time to attend the 8th Multilateral Initiative on Malaria meeting with a large delegation from LSHTM_malaria 🇷🇼

Back at it for the second year in a row! For the next couple of days, you will find me in Canterbury attending the LSHTM_malaria Centre Retreat. It was a blast to help organise this edition with Sam Wassmer and Ana Chopo Pizarro 🙌

We’re off to an exciting start at our #MalariaCentreRetreat

We kicked off with an address from our directors Jackie Cook and Sam Wassmer.

We’re covering a wide range of topics today, including LLIN efficacy to ACTs and resistance markers, MDA, climate change and policy!

It’s finally here- our #MalariaCentreRetreat is starting today!

We’re looking forward to a day filled with insightful discussions and collaborative brainstorming.

Let’s find new ways to combat malaria together!

Merchandise loaded, ready to drive to Canterbury for our annual LSHTM_malaria retreat tomorrow. LSHTM #malaria researchers unite! 🤓

We are delighted at the launch of our insectary in Fajara, a significant milestone in the fight against malaria in #Africa .

The facility strengthens our research capabilities in The #Gambia & the Sub-region, supporting vital research on #malaria parasites & vector populations.

Progress in malaria control in some countries in sub-Saharan Africa is challenged by several new threats, including artemisinin-resistant P. falciparum parasites with deletions in hrp2 or hrp3. Read the full Perspective by Brian Greenwood, M.D., from London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine:

Feel very lucky to visit our colleagues in the Gambia to hear about all the exciting research projects here and to celebrate the opening of the refurbished insectary! LSHTM_malaria Sam Wassmer
