What happens when the classroom meets the laboratory?

For students visiting our labs ahead of #WorldMosquitoDay, learning about mosquitoes and malaria went beyond textbooks - bringing science to life and giving them a glimpse into the research shaping the fight against #malaria.

Children are disproportionately affected by malaria.

Ahead of #WorldMosquitoDay, students from schools across Bagamoyo visited our labs to learn about mosquitoes, malaria transmission and prevention.

Inspiring curiosity today can help shape a future beyond malaria.

T0 Research assistant and PhD student, Calvin Yee, highlights why building a strong evidence base for safe and responsible technology is essential.

From developing the science to ensuring it is ready for field evaluation, every step must be grounded in rigorous evidence.

This Thursday is #WorldMosquitoDay, and we’re spotlighting the researchers at T0 who are working to rethink how we tackle malaria.

Hear from Research Assistant @Ahira Varkey on how her MRes project with the group sparked her interest in innovative approaches to malaria control.

Hear from T0’s Dickson Lwetojiera as shares how personal experiences have shaped his mission to end malaria.
For Dickson and the team, this is more than science. This is about creating a future where malaria no longer reshapes the lives of generations to come.

How can malaria be prevented?

Our latest carousel explores key strategies for prevention and control, from avoiding mosquito bites to the recommended treatments.

With early diagnosis and prompt treatment, malaria is a preventable and curable disease.
