More than $600 million is invested each year in research and development for new tools to combat malaria, but African research institutions receive only about 1% of these funds directly. (WHO2021)

At ACEME, we are working to put African scientists at the forefront of developing innovative solutions to combat vector-borne diseases on the continent. In partnership with Keele University 🐿️, our researchers are pursuing PhDs in molecular biology focused on mosquitoes.

New innovative tools for combating vector-borne diseases require researchers trained in the field. ACEME offers a training framework and technical facilities.

Investing in training, equipment, and empowering researchers' means building the scientific resilience we need to face tomorrow's challenges.

Our report, in partnership with African Leaders Malaria Alliance (ALMA), warns a malaria resurgence could see 750,000 more children lose their lives and cost the next generation $19.7 bn in lost earnings by 2030.

Vector control is no simple task. It requires local experts who are able to adapt in real time to complex and changing ecosystems. At ACEME, our goal is to build the capacity of researchers.

🧬 Genetic engineering paves the way for targeted control tools in the fight against vector-borne diseases, such as genetically modified mosquitoes. Projects like ACEME are crucial for advancing fundamental and applied research. #GeneticEngineering #PublicHealth #Innovation

The fight against vector-borne diseases necessarily involves strengthening capacities of researchers in the field of vector-borne diseases. At ACEME, our researchers are developing plasmid and primer design capabilities.

🔬 La science progresse à un rythme effréné. Pour transformer les essais cliniques et garantir que les innovations en matière d'ingénierie génétique profitent à tous dans la lutte contre les maladies, il est indispensable de renforcer les capacités de recherche et développement.

The World Health Organization (WHO) just released its 2025 #WorldMalariaReport highlighting that progress in the fight against #malaria is under threat as drug resistance rises. Link to the report : who.int/teams/global-m…

The future of the fight against vector-borne diseases in Africa is being written in our universities. At USTTB in Bamako, PhD researcher Madjougou Sissoko is exploring genetic engineering solutions tailored to African realities.Young people must be part of the solution.

Climate change is reshaping #malaria in Africa: mosquitoes are reaching higher altitudes, exposing new populations. The #OneHealth approach linking climate, vectors & health is key. Training African experts ACEME builds local resilience. #ClimateChange #ResearchAfrica #Trainin
