About Us
Learn more about Fight Malaria.
Fight Malaria assimilates malaria research and communicates key findings in podcast form. It also interviews scientists and decision-makers from around the world.
It was created by Thomas Locke, a student in the UK, to improve public understanding of the disease. Since it’s inception in 2016, it’s been featured on the BBC and was awarded a Gold CREST Award from the British Science Association.
In 2021, Thomas partnered with the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute and launched the Johns Hopkins Malaria Minute – a rebrand of the existing Malaria Minute podcast – to communicate influential advances in malaria research with a global audience.
