Join us in this crucial endeavour to understand the biology of the malaria parasite and to advance global health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Session topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Parasite cell and molecular biology<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transmission and vector biology<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Host-parasite interactions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Evolution and ecology<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Genome-scale approaches<\/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><br><em>\u201cThe BioMalPar Conference is its own kind of amazing.
