At that time, I had been conducting postdoctoral research on the genetic differentiation of malaria parasites for over a decade and had published over 45 peer - reviewed scientific papers. (sciencemag.org)
One example of this work is the discovery of distinct genetic patterns of variation associated with drug resistance in malaria parasite populations. (cggh.org)
The world is on the brink of a turning point in malaria control. (newscientist.com)
