What they do

The Huck Center for Malaria Research (CMaR) at Penn State University brings together researchers studying malaria parasites, mosquitoes, immunity, ecology, and the built environment to identify new ways to prevent infection and transmission.1 Its U.S. R&D is based in University Park, Pennsylvania.1 Its work is primarily at the discovery stage and includes understanding how malaria parasites develop and transmit, identifying parasite metabolic pathways and potential drug targets, investigating microbial biopesticides for mosquito control, and exploring housing-design strategies to reduce mosquito exposure.1
