The Innovative Vector Control Consortium (IVCC) and industry partners are producing new insecticides to create the next generation of malaria control products www.ivcc.com to combat resistance. This project will investigate how these insecticides interact with mosquitoes in order to inform and help develop better strategies to reduce the risk of insecticide resistance development with deployment of these new insecticides. |
|
|
Where does the project lie on the Translational Pathway? |
T1 – Basic Research |
|
Expected Outputs |
1, Publications in specialist (biochemical, insect) and general journals e.g. JBC, Biochem J, PNAS, Curr Biol, IBMB, 2. Pilot data for funding applications e.g. BBSRC and Wellcome Trust 3. Development of new IP, tools and paradigms to counteract insecticide resistance |
|
Skills Required |
Degree in biological or chemical discipline. Interest in vector biology and control.
