Mali, West Africa

We have had long-standing collaboration with international academic and research institutions in West Africa, where we have been conducting epidemiology research and malaria vaccine trials for more than two decades. We have been collaborating with the Malaria Research and Training Center (MRTC) of the University of Sciences, Technique, and Technologies of Bamako (USSTB) in Mali. We also collaborate with the Centre National de Recherche et de Formation sur le Paludisme (CNRFP or National Center for Malaria Research and Training) in Burkina Faso.

In 2001, a formal agreement between the Ministry of Health of Mali and the CVD at the University of Maryland, established a unit in Mali. CVD-Mali is dedicated to quantifying the burden of vaccine-preventable diseases, testing the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of relevant new vaccines and training future Malian vaccinologists. As a part of the Ministry of Health, CVD-Mali has the opportunity to bring research results to the attention of decision-makers and directly impact public health policy.

CVD-Mali's research laboratories and specialized training capacity support sophisticated, hypothesis-driven research and increased opportunities for collaboration. Learn More >

Malawi

In Malawi, our faculty have been collaborating for more than 15 years with the University of Malawi College of Medicine and its affiliates Blantyre Malaria Project and Malaria Alert Center in the conduct of numerous epidemiological studies and clinical trials. 

Santiago Chile

Our relationship with the government, universities and health services of Santiago, Chile began in 1978. The Chile program, Centro para Vacunas en Desarrollo - Chile (CVD - Chile), is headquartered in the Roberto del Rio Children’s Hospital.

Our historical collaboration in Santiago includes:
