Malaria elimination strategy

The malaria vaccine research program from the department of Medical Microbiology of the Radboudumc, covers a broad spectrum of activities from molecule to man with continuous cross talk between basic research, clinical testing and (epidemiological) studies in malaria endemic countries.

Their mission is the clinical development of Plasmodium falciparum vaccines for control and elimination of malaria. We are exploring mechanisms of parasite biology, and pursuing identification of the immune signature of protection against malaria and (clinical) development of  candidate malaria vaccines.
