Malaria Risk in Growing Urban Areas
Urban growth often outpaces infrastructure development, leading to the expansion of informal settlements and slums that create ideal conditions for mosquito breeding. While urban areas traditionally have lower malaria prevalence due to improved housing and sanitation, unplanned urbanization could result in higher transmission rates.

Collaborative Research for Urban Malaria Control
In collaboration with institutions such as Loyola University Chicago, USA, local universities, and national malaria control programs, we conduct research to understand and mitigate malaria risk in urban settings. Our work, supported by global partners like the Gates Foundation, focuses on field studies and entomological research in key urban centers across endemic regions.
We conduct on-the-ground data collection and field studies to gain insights into malaria transmission dynamics and intervention effectiveness.
We use statistical modeling, data analysis, and software development to inform malaria intervention strategies, assess risk factors, and optimize resources for effective malaria control in urban settings.
We apply mathematical modelling to understand the impact of malaria control interventions and to simulate transmission dynamics in urban areas, helping guide decision-making and resource prioritization.
