Curious about how Transmission Zero are working to help the fight against malaria? We are developing new tools to stop malaria transmission by modifying mosquitoes so that they can no longer transmit the disease. Find out more in the thread below (1/7) 🧵 #WorldMosquitoDay2024

Imperial College London has just announced that our Transmission Zero Investigator, Dr Dina Vlachou, has earned an academic promotion to Senior Research Fellow (Associate Professor in Research)! This is a remarkable achievement, and we couldn’t be prouder. Congratulations, Dr Vlachou!
