Insights from Local Study Sites

MalariaGEN partners across 14 malaria-endemic countries have worked with local communities to recruit over 50,000 samples in the last 4 years. Each partner has designed and implemented their own local study into the natural mechanisms of resistence to malaria. Learn more about the challenges faced and experiences gained by these partners.
