Today marks International Women’s Day, and we’re celebrating the women helping to drive the future of malaria research in Tanzania.
From fieldwork to molecular research, women are helping shape the next generation of malaria solutions.

In the lead-up to #InternationalWomensDay, 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”.

“This is African science, conducted by African researchers, addressing an African challenge.” - HE President Hassan
We are honoured to see our work on innovative tools for malaria control recognised at this level, and proud to be working towards a malaria-free world together 🌍

🌍 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.

On #WorldChildrensDay, we’re reminded that every child deserves the opportunity to grow up healthy and full of potential.
Today, let’s commit to driving innovation and accelerating progress toward malaria elimination.Every step toward ending malaria is a step toward a safer future for every child.
We're proud to be mentioned in Unitaid's new landscape report on genetically modified mosquitoes 🦟
The report outlines the urgent need for new tools to control VBDs and explores pathways to turn this research into impact.

(1/6) As this year's #WorldMosquitoDay campaign comes to a close, we reflect on the global fight against malaria.
Ending malaria doesn't just involve science. Strong policies, cross-border collaboration, and sustained investment are essential. Let’s keep malaria on the global agenda.
This week we are celebrating #WorldMosquitoDay! Hear from Transmission Zero researcher, Kirsty Moane, about how decoding mosquito immune responses in the midgut could pave the way for malaria-resistant mosquitoes and disrupt parasite transmission.
