Gates Foundation Malaria Eradication Strategy

Davis Auditorium

Join via TEAMS

Including Q&A session

The Gates Foundation is committed to the eradication of malaria from the planet. The malaria team’s motto at the foundation, ‘Malaria delenda est!’ is a modern twist on a classical quote by Cato the Elder calling for the complete annihilation of Catharge. We take this inspiration and energy to this mission and will review the current thinking guiding our investment strategy across a broad range of portfolios (surveillance, epidemiology, delivery, vector control, vaccines, antimalarials, endectocides and diagnostics).

The seminar will highlight the central role of continued investment in the fundamental scientific understanding of plasmodial/apicomplexan parasites and sustained R&D investment in transformational anti-malarial tools.

All welcome!
