Dr Amy Kristine Bei to head a new 4-year research group on malaria in Dakar

A new 4-year research group (G4) is being set-up at the Institut Pasteur de Dakar and started in early February following the agreement signed between the Institut Pasteur and AUF (Agence universitaire de la francophonie) on 31 January 2019, in collaboration with the Yale School of Public Health. Entitled "Malaria Experimental Genetic Approaches and Vaccines", it will be led by malaria researcher Dr Amy Kristine Bei, an Assistant Professor at the Yale School of Public Health. The objective of this 4-year research group (G4) is to understand the interaction between parasite diversity and immune selection, and use this knowledge to help guide the prioritization of strain-transcending vaccine candidates.
