University of South Florida (USF)
The University of South Florida leads REDIAL, an NIAID-funded malaria research program investigating persistent malaria transmission in Cameroon.
What they do
The University of South Florida leads REDIAL, an NIAID-funded malaria research program investigating persistent malaria transmission in Cameroon.1 The program studies malaria epidemiology, parasite and mosquito biology, drug and insecticide resistance, and factors that sustain transmission to help improve malaria-control strategies.1 Additional research at USF investigates cerebral malaria pathogenesis, including the role of immunothrombosis, and identifies parasite and human biomarkers that may predict clinical outcomes, in collaboration with researchers in Malawi.1 U.S. R&D is based in Tampa, Florida, and the work spans the discovery and development stages.1
