ITM Alumni webinar – Challenges for malaria elimination in Peru: an opportunity for molecular surveillance
29/04 - 29/04/2025

World Malaria Day – is an occasion to share insights and research findings on malaria-related research, highlighting the need for continued investment and sustained political commitment for malaria prevention, treatment and controI.

In light of this year’s World Malaria Day, ITM PhD-student Luis Esteban Cabrera Sosa will focus his presentation on the challenges for malaria elimination in Peru. Regardless of launching the national malaria elimination plan in 2022, decreasing the number of cases in Peru during the last years has been difficult. In this scenario, malaria molecular surveillance (MMS) can become a useful tool to face these challenges.

In this webinar, Luis will share the current state of malaria epidemiology in the Peruvian Amazon, challenges for malaria elimination and how MMS can contribute to it.

The Q&A-session will be moderated by Anna Rosanas-Urgell, Luis’ PhD co-supervisor and Head of the Malariology Unit at the ITM Biomedical Sciences department.
