Description
This fellowship honors Professor Dominic Kwiatkowski, a leader in malaria genomics, by supporting early- to mid-career researchers from and working in malaria-endemic, low- or middle-income countries (LMICs). The award, in partnership with the Gates Foundation, provides $20,000 to advance a research project in malaria genomics, with the aim of fostering the next generation of scientists dedicated to combating malaria. The program emphasizes blending laboratory and field research and seeks applicants with a demonstrated commitment to advancing public health through malaria genomics.
