Optimising treatment and prevention strategies to accelerate malaria elimination

Objectives

To develop new methods to assess antimalarial treatments and radical population interventions, and identify markers of drug resistance, accelerating malaria elimination efforts and building capacity in this emerging cross-disciplinary field.

Rationale and Abstract

Elimination of malaria requires the assessment of interventions that not only treat individual infections successfully but also prevent disease at a population level. My proposal brings together data science approaches and mathematical modelling to develop new methods to assess antimalarial treatments and radical population interventions, and identify markers of drug resistance, accelerating malaria elimination efforts and building capacity in this emerging cross-disciplinary field.
