Meet Alistair Miles – Malaria Vector Surveillance Lead
With a decade of experience turning mosquitoes into genomic data, Alistair Miles is a pillar of the community of entomologists and analysts that keep track of the evolutionary twists and turns of malaria mosquitoes
World Malaria Day 2023: Investing, innovating, and implementing genomic surveillance
Every year on April 25th, we observe World Malaria Day to raise awareness and mobilise action against malaria. This year, the World Health Organisation’s call to action focuses on three key areas: investing in the global malaria response, stepping up innovation, and implementing the strategies we have now.

Finishing genome puzzles
Explore the skilful art of interpreting genome sequence data - from the human genome project to all species.
Unlocking surface proteins
A decades-long interest in cell surface proteins has led to discoveries as diverse as how malaria parasites invade human blood cells, a vaccine target for a neglected tropical disease, and finding the molecules that must interact to initiate new life.
