For the next interview in our series of talks with key opinion leaders working with Malaria, Andrew Richford talks with Philippe Guerin, the Executive Director of WWARN, the WorldWide Antimalarial Resistance Network.

WWARN focuses on four areas critical to the control and elimination of malaria:

  • Establishing reliable information on antimalarial drug effectiveness around the world;

  • Rapidly identifying new areas of drug resistance;

  • Bringing together pharmacological data on drugs with molecular and in vitro information on resistance to optimise combination therapies; and

  • Mapping global trends in antimalarial resistance.

In this interview Philippe talks about the progress of WWARN since its launch, and its ongoing efforts to coordinate the response to the problems of drug resistance.
