CVD-Mali

Experience

CVD-Mali’s core work since its inception has revolved around quantifying the burden of vaccine-preventable diseases, and testing the safety, immunogenicity and efficacy of new vaccines.

CVD-Mali also plays an important role in the training of young investigators in Mali and around the world. CVD-Mali shares all of its research results with the Ministry of Health to guide public health decisions.

Research interests

In recent years, alongside its core vaccine-related work, it has partnered with many international organisations, to deliver public health research and interventions – most notably ABCD, Champs, and two ongoing Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation-funded azithromycin trials in the Sikasso and Kayes regions of Mali.
