Working together to combat malaria.
"...information at the molecular level is vital to gain insights
into the pathogenesis of malaria, and potentially offers
the opportunity to develop better drugs."
~ Subra Suresh
SAMI Mission:
The South African Malaria Initiative will facilitate an integrated programme of malaria research and capacity development in South Africa and eventually in the rest of Africa to improve malaria prevention and control. Modern research tools will be applied to malaria research. Outputs will include the identification and validation of drug and insecticidal targets, development of drug and insecticidal candidates, improved diagnostics, and new tools for gathering epidemiological information.
