Updates on our challenging scientific expedition to document the past success, current innovations, and future challenges of malaria control in Africa.
Excited to share this preprint about our approach to flexible & cost-effective targeted @nanopore sequencing of #malaria. A thread🧵 1/n.

NEWS: Did you miss this? Congratulations to the @mobilemalaria team from @bdi_oxford who have completed their journey across sub-Saharan Africa, running a 'mobile laboratory' and showing how genetic analysis in the field can help to fight #malaria https://t.co/KnQtRs19es
After winning a @LandRover bursary last year, the @mobilemalaria team travelled across Africa with MinION at the centre of their mobile laboratory, aiming to improve future monitoring of malaria and mosquito populations. Watch their story here: https://t.co/ntpAd1Sx1h
The @mobilemalaria team travelled across sub-Saharan Africa in their bespoke #SpecialVehicleOperations#Discovery, running a ‘mobile laboratory’ and showing how in-the-field genetic analysis can help fight malaria. Learn more here: https://t.co/jETYJzu5H8 #SV@RGS_IBG
wondering what some of major challenges to malaria research in Africa in 2019 are? listen to our new @mobilemalaria podcast #labroving where we capture some of the conversations we had with collaborators in the back of our #landrover (warning: it's niche) https://t.co/ZKpQTXHtYc
Join @busbygeorge at the @BritishSciFest on Sept 13 for a talk on the Mobile #Malaria Project - learning about malaria and sequencing #DNA in the back of a @LandRover across Africa. Get your free tickets here: https://t.co/kwIU2AEC47
George Busby tell us about his journey through Africa for the @mobilemalaria project in a custom @LandRover in live lounge - ambitious and exciting project! #nanoporeconf
Great journey across Namibia with @mobilemalaria. Highlight was the possibility of mobile sequencing technology to provide timely and in depth evidence for decision making in the field. Best wishes @busbygeorge and team on next leg of your journey #Zambia#malaria
The first leg of the @mobilemalaria project involved a stop in Windhoek at the @unam_na main campus. The team interacted with students who had a chance to see the state of the art mobile lab fitted into the back of a #discovery#LandRover
