Michael Alifrangis
Associate Professor
Primary fields of research
I am primarily interested in improving the treatment of malaria by antimalarial drugs and factors affecting the outcome. Furthermore, much emphasis of my research is on the use of molecular markers as tools to monitor and possibly hinder emergence and spread of drug resistance in the malaria endemic world.
Current research
Research in antimalarial drugs is currently based on testing:
- The efficiency of antimalarial drugs in treatment of various patient groups
- The availability and quality of antimalarial drugs in the malaria endemic world
- The molecular mapping of antimalarial drug resistance by genotyping malaria parasites from various malaria endemic areas
Furthermore, current research is as well by involvement in general studies of malaria epidemiology and trends of decreasing malaria in selected African countries.
Teaching
Supervision of a number of technicians, Master students and PhD students
Some teaching and supervision at the Master of International Health program
Facilitator and lecturer at several methodological courses
Fields of interest
Research capacity building has been a mainstay of much of my research and has involved the training including course facilitation and methodology transfer of various methods to partner institutions in Tanzania, Ghana, Mozambique and Sri Lanka.ID: 11975
