Team

The Mitigating Antimalarial Resistance Consortium for South-East Africa (MARC SE-Africa) is comprised of ten organisations from nine countries on three different continents that all work together to achieve a common goal: To better define the extent of antimalarial resistance regionally and even more importantly expedite the sharing of such evidence with National Malaria Programmes and their implementation partners.

The breadth of research expertise in the broadly inter-disciplinary consortium includes malaria epidemiology, social sciences, clinical pharmacology, infectious diseases medicine, molecular biology, biomedical statistics and mathematical modelling, as well as public health and health policy.

MARC SE-Africa is coordinated by Prof Karen I Barnes from the University of Cape Town (UCT) and supported by LINQ management GmbH (LINQ).
