Innovation is critical in the fight against malaria. Explore our latest carousel to see how tools like vaccines and next-generation bed nets are reshaping malaria control. Discover how T0 is developing a novel gene drive approach to tackle #malaria at its source. #WorldMalariaDay

This #WorldMalariaDay, research scientist Prisca Kweyamba highlights the importance of preventing transmission at its source. Her work focusses on developing transmission-blocking strategies to break the cycle of infection and move us closer to malaria elimination.

How can malaria be prevented? Our latest carousel explores key strategies for prevention and control, from avoiding mosquito bites to the recommended treatments. With early diagnosis and prompt treatment, malaria is a preventable and curable disease. #WorldMalariaDay #DrivenToEndMalaria

How can global collaborations accelerate progress against malaria? Prisca Kweyamba shares how strong international partnerships can keep research rooted in local realities, while drawing on global expertise to drive more effective solutions. #WorldMalariaDay #DrivenToEndMalaria

In the lead up to #WorldMalariaDay, we’re spotlighting the Transmission Zero researchers working to understand and ultimately defeat malaria. Research Associate, Lison Laroche, is exploring how Plasmodium infection reshapes mosquito biology from within to better understand #malaria transmission.

Ahead of #WorldMalariaDay, we’re exploring what malaria is and how it affects the body. Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by Plasmodium parasites, which are transmitted through the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. To learn more, explore our carousel below! ⬇️

#WorldMalariaDay is fast approaching on 25 April! Throughout this week, we’ll be raising awareness around malaria – from how it spreads and how we can prevent it, to the innovations driving us closer to elimination. Follow along and stay tuned to learn more about malaria 🦟 #DrivenToEndMalaria

#WorldHealthDay 2026: “Stand for Health. Stand with Science.” At T0, we support locally led research and real-world vector control solutions to drive lasting impact against malaria. From the lab to the field, we work with partners to ensure science translates into meaningful, lasting impact.

Following International Women’s Day, we’re still reflecting on the scientists shaping global health. As Felista Tarimo highlights, locally led research is key to a malaria free future. Read more about Felista's work here: bit.ly/4rML4pf

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