Malaria remains one of the most significant global public health challenges, with more than 200 million clinical cases worldwide each year. The lack of a vaccine that provides effective long-term protection and the continual emergence of drug-resistant malaria parasites emphasises the need for new control and prevention strategies.
BioMalPar XIX will showcase the multidisciplinary nature of malaria research with a programme that welcomes clinical malaria, epidemiological studies, immunology, and evolution and ecology alongside core BioMalPar topics. The programme focuses on early-mid career researchers to help mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic which have been particularly acute for these stages.
Session topics:
- Clinical and field studies
- Systems biology, from molecules to cells, physiology and pathobiology
- Evolution and ecology
- Immunology and vaccinology
- Transmission and vector – parasite interactions
- New topics and tools for malaria research and future innovation
Important dates:
- Abstract Deadline – February 28, 2023
- Registration (On-site) Deadline – April 11, 2023
- Registration (Virtual) Deadline – May 16, 2023
