Introduction
The Unit of Malariology, led by Prof Rosanas-Urgell, aims to contribute to the development of tools and strategies for better malaria control and elimination. Most of our studies are solidly grounded in field-research and epidemiological studies aiming to provide a bridge between in vitro and in vivo research. We combine state-of-the-art molecular, ‘omic and cell technologies ...
