Event description

This conference will take place at EMBL Heidelberg, with the option to attend virtually.

 

Conference overview

Malaria remains a major global health burden and progress toward its control and elimination has been limited by growing drug resistance, the challenge of developing a highly effective and broadly active vaccine, reduced commitments to global public health, and political instability.

The goal of BioMalPar is to (1) highlight recent advances in basic and translational research into the biology of malaria parasites, their interactions with their mammalian host and mosquito vector, and the development of new interventions, (2) foster collaboration among researchers in these efforts, and (3) provide training and networking opportunities for participants.

Together, we can drive forward the innovations and strategies needed to reduce the terrible toll malaria takes. Join us in this crucial endeavour to understand the biology of the malaria parasite and to advance global health.

 

Session topics

  • Parasite cell and molecular biology
  • Transmission and vector biology
  • Host-parasite interactions
  • Evolution and ecology
  • Genome-scale approaches
