The emergence and spread of resistance to existing antimalarial drugs further complicates the fight against this ancient foe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the BioMalPar Conference marks its 20th anniversary, we would like to take a moment to reflect on the critical mission of understanding the biology of the Plasmodium parasite, its interactions with hosts and vectors, and the urgent need to develop effective intervention strategies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, we will focus on enhancing our research community by forging new connections. We recognize that meaningful progress in combating malaria necessitates collaboration across continents and disciplines\u2014sharing data and employing state-of-the-art techniques to unravel Plasmodium&#8217;s secrets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The upcoming conference is a pivotal opportunity for global scientists to convene, fostering the exchange of vital information, cutting-edge technology, and innovative ideas, all crucial to advancing our collective battle against malaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Session topics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8220;Imaging Begins\u201d <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Revenge of the Mosquito&#8221; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Charlie &amp; the Vaccine Factory&#8221; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Mr &amp; Mrs Plasmodium&#8221; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;V for Vivax&#8221; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;The Parasite&#8217;s Guide to the Galaxy&#8221; <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What past participants say about the conference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<em>BioMalPar 2023 encompassed a spectacular range of research spanning basic to translational.
