Prof @gordon_awandare of @WACCBIP_UG explains how surveillance of drug resistance across Africa together with national malaria control programmes will slow the transmission of #malaria.

[MalariaGEN @malariagenomics]

Prof @gordon_awandare of @WACCBIP_UG explains how Ghana applied its #genomic sequencing capacity to Covid, and it is now time to use it to track drug resistance in #Plasmodium and insectcide resistance in #anopheles mosquitoes.

[Nana Kofi Quakyi, MPH @nkquakyi]

How is no one talking about the fact that Ghana’s own @YemaachiBio, one of the few biotech startups on the continent, made into @ycombinator's sumer batch of 2021!?

They're the only Ghanaian and only biotech firm among the 15 African companies who will be pitching on Demo Day!

SARS-CoV-2 variant distribution over time in Ghana. as of July 2021, #Delta has taken over as the predominant variant in the country. View the @WACCBIP_UG @YemaachiBio interactive tracker at https://t.co/t6chNWLquD

[Gordon Awandare @gordon_awandare]

Our data now suggest the inevitable has occurred, delta variant has taken over local transmission in Ghana. Remarkably, it appears the alpha variant was already being replaced by B.1.1.318 before delta arrived. Will be interesting to see how B.1.1.318 fares with delta. ⁦

Thank you for your kind testimonial!

Delivering the final talk and sharing his work on characterization of the immune response to an improved malaria vaccine candidate (PfRh5.2) was @Jae_Suurbaar, a final year MPhil student.

[Yemaachi Biotech @YemaachiBio]

The name "Yemaachi" comes from a combination of 3 different Ghanaian languages, and means "A New Dawn for Health in Africa". Here is a short video about us... https://t.co/d1jWEkSxvs

Yesterday, I made a case for need to have sustainable funding to drive the zero malaria goal. This was on @thegbcghana with @AniwehYaw from @WACCBIP_UG . You can find the full discussion here https://t.co/UgIWQ0YExv

[WACCBIP @WACCBIP_UG]

We are excited to announce a date for our annual research conference #WRC2021! July 21-23!

Registration for this year's conference is now open and we are accepting abstracts from our fellows, researchers, collaborators, and invited guests.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

The Nobel Prize has been awarded to at least 6 discoveries related to malaria.

The latest was to Tu Youyou who discovered artemisinin, a substance which inhibits the malaria parasite. She tested the medicine on herself: it now saves countless lives every year.

#WorldMalariaDay

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

As we commemorate #WorldMalariaDay, we must remember that this is a preventable & treatable disease, that still kills 400,000+ people every year. Working together & supported with sustained funding, we can dare to dream of a malaria-free 🌍. #EndMalaria
