Malaria in Focus: From Research to Global Action

Swiss TPH Symposium, 12-13 June 2025


Malaria remains one of the most pressing global health challenges, requiring partnerships and a multidisciplinary approach to drive effective and sustainable progress.
 
Join leading experts from academia, international organizations, and the public and private sectors to share insights and discuss innovative solutions to reinvigorate our fight against malaria. Together, we will explore how to bridge gaps in research, policy, and implementation, integrate scientific innovations into equitable and effective strategies, and ensure lasting progress in increasingly uncertain times.
 
The symposium will focus on these topics:

  • Parasite-host interaction and immunology
  • Development of drugs, vaccines, diagnostics and vector control
  • Malaria epidemiology and implementation research
  • Global partnerships, policies and capacity strengthening
