I am scientist based at National Institute of Public Health in the Parasitology Unit in Bamako-Mali. Its main missions are the achievements of routine laboratory analyses, biomedical research and training. The main diseases studied are Malaria, Schistosomiasis and Helmintiasis. I defended my PhD thesis in Medical Parasitology – Entomology on December 20th, 2017, financed by the Institute Infectious and Disease Poverty (IIDP). I participated and led several research projects including intermittent preventive treatment in pregnant women (IPTg), in school children (IPTsc) and in seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC). I am currently conducting a postdoctoral research in the Laboratory of Malaria Immunology and Vaccinology (LMIV) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). I joined this research group in February 2019 for two years under the sponsorship of African Postdoctoral Training Initiative, a prestige program supported by NIH, the African Academy of Sciences (AAS) , and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF). My goal is to evaluate the impact of malaria vaccines on the emergence of drug-resistant P. falciparum parasites measured using molecular markers of resistance, among children receiving seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) in Mali.
