What they do

Howard Hughes Medical Institute supports long-term, investigator-led biomedical research.1 HHMI Investigator Flaminia Catteruccia and her Harvard T.H.1 Chan School of Public Health laboratory study how malaria parasites develop inside Anopheles mosquitoes and identify new ways to block transmission, including parasite-killing compounds designed for incorporation into bed-net-like materials.1 HHMI is headquartered in Chevy Chase, Maryland, and this malaria R&D is based in Boston, Massachusetts.1 The work is in the discovery stage.1
