Scientists at the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute (JHMRI) are on the cutting edge of world-class basic science and clinical research to treat and control malaria, develop a vaccine, and find new drug targets to prevent and cure for malaria. During an interactive web summit, participants will hear the latest findings in the fight against malaria from top researchers at JHMRI and have the opportunity to ask questions in real time. In addition, participants will be able to visit remotely the JHMRI insectary where mosquitoes are bred, raised and studied at the heart of the Institute’s scientific operations in Baltimore, MD. Participants will virtually meet researchers who use NASA data to map the movement of deadly malaria carrying mosquitoes. They’ll also hear from researchers based at the Macha study field site in Zambia, a living laboratory for mosquito and human behavior in malaria-stricken areas. The URL and other information for viewing the web summit will be sent to you at a later date. For more information, contact Carol Lin Vieira at cvieira@burnesscommunications.com or 401-714-0821.
