Following IWD, we’re spotlighting the women at T0 driving research forward throughout March. Dina leads the discovery of antiparasitic effectors and molecular parasitology activities at Imperial. Through her leadership, Dina is driving new strategies for malaria control.

Following IWD, we’re continuing to spotlight the women driving T0's research forward. Karen explains why understanding mosquito populations is key for control and encourages more young women to pursue fulfilling science beyond the lab. Read more here: bit.ly/47wAbjw

On #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate Beatrice Magani, whose work at T0 shows how science can drive meaningful change. She advocates for African-led innovation while encouraging young women to enter the life sciences. Read about her work here: bit.ly/47wAbjw

Today is #InternationalWomensDay, and we’re celebrating the women helping to drive the future of malaria research. From fieldwork to molecular research, women are helping shape the next generation of malaria solutions. Read Karen and Beatrice’s blog here: bit.ly/47wAbjw

As #InternationalWomensDay approaches, we’re spotlighting Justina Mosha, whose work bridges science and communities to drive progress towards a malaria-free future. Justina reminds us that “science needs girls’ voices – especially in Africa”. Read her blog bit.ly/4rML4pf

“This is African science, conducted by African researchers, addressing an African challenge.” - HE President Hassan Honoured to see our work on new malaria tools recognised at this level, & proud to be working towards a malaria-free world together 🌍 📰 bit.ly/4tBSs8E

This International Day of Women and Girls in Science, read Felista and Justina’s blog to learn how they are engaging communities and inspiring girls to pursue careers in science: bit.ly/4rML4pf

Today marks World NTD Day. NTDs cause chronic illness, disability, and stigma, while perpetuating cycles of inequality and poverty. Today is an opportunity to not only celebrate progress, but also to recognise the need for renewed global commitment. ⬇️Read our factsheet below

In our latest blog, we unpack our Nature paper, where our team have developed a strain of mosquito in Tanzania that can block malaria transmission - the first genetically modified mosquito ever to be created in Africa, by African researchers. Read here: bit.ly/4p72aMF

Could mosquitoes help us in the fight against malaria? 🦟 Our new study shows how genetically modified mosquitoes could change the future of malaria control and elimination - with innovation and collaboration leading the way. Read the paper here: bit.ly/4rPAEG8

Researchers from @transm0 have taken a major step forward in developing gene drive modified mosquitoes in Africa 🦟 🌍 The new research brings gene drive technology closer to reality as a tool for preventing malaria transmission. Read more ⤵️ imperial.ac.uk/news/articles/…
