Richard Maude: Epidemiology and malaria elimination

Dr Richard Maude's work combines clinical studies, descriptive epidemiology and mathematical modelling of malaria in South and Southeast Asia. Over 1 million people die and 300-600 million suffer from malaria each year, and more than 40% of the world's population lives in malaria-risk areas. Understanding how to manage and treat malaria is therefore of vital importance, and achieving this aim needs a number of different approaches.
