Improving the health of vulnerable communities and changing lives is at the heart of what we do and who we are.
We aim to improve surveillance, diagnostics, clinical treatment, prevention and disease control for malaria, tuberculosis and other tropical diseases, which kill millions of people each year.
Led by infectious diseases physician and researcher, Associate Professor Jack Richards, the group works across a range of malaria and tropical diseases research initiatives.
The focus of their research seeks to identify antibody responses that confer protection from symptomatic malaria and subsequent malaria vaccine development.
Collaborations with Australian and international organisations are ongoing in Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste, Cambodia, Vietnam and Kenya.
