Welcome to the Singapore Malaria Network (SingMalNet) Meeting 2026!

We are very pleased to invite you to the 6th meeting of the Singapore Malaria Network.

This meeting intends to foster new ideas and concepts by bringing together scientists working in multiple aspects of malaria. These areas include clinical and epidemiological research, as well as in vitro laboratory studies of the human pathogens P. falciparum and P. vivax. Other model organisms including the rodent and nonhuman primate Plasmodia will also be featured. As in the previous five successful occasions, the SingMalNet meeting provides a great opportunity for young up-and-coming scientists to meet established global experts in multiple disciplines of malaria research.

SingMalNet2026 will spotlight current topics in malaria research combining urgent issues pertaining to malaria control, such as drug and vaccine discovery, pathogenesis and epidemiology, with basic research areas of genomics, and molecular and cellular biology of the malaria pathogen Plasmodium.

The research topics of the meeting are as follows:

  1. Malaria Pathogenesis
  2. Drug and Vaccine Discovery
  3. Plasmodium Vivax Biology
  4. Malaria Epidemiology
  5. Cell Biology: Parasite & Host
  6. Genomics and Emerging Technologies
  7. Zoonotic and Non-human Primate Models
