University of Bamako

And one of the sites was in Mali.

And so as a fellow, I traveled to Mali and was very fortunate to be teamed up with collaborators at the University of Bamako who are like true malaria experts, true malaria field research experts.

And I've worked with them ever since.

And basically our model for research is large observational cohort studies that we conduct in rural areas of Mali, where we enroll individuals from young children to adults, and we follow these people closely as they experience intense seasonal malaria transmission every year.
