Alfredo Mayor

Alfredo Mayor is a Research Professor at the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), specializing in Malaria and neglected parasitic diseases. His research employs a discovery-oriented approach focused on Mozambique, combining genomic tools, epidemiological methods, and clinical trials to develop malaria surveillance strategies. Core principles include advancing scientific knowledge, prioritizing programmatic needs through National Malaria Control Program collaborations, translational host-parasite biology research, and capacity building in endemic regions.

Research focuses on:

• Cost-effective malaria stratification for interventions
• Intervention efficacy assessment
• Early parasite threat detection
• Transmission reservoir targeting
• National surveillance capacity expansion

His publications demonstrate consistent focus on genomic surveillance, molecular diagnostics, and epidemiological modeling of malaria in Mozambique. Articles frequently address the intersection of malaria with other infectious diseases like HIV and COVID-19, emphasizing public health applications in resource-limited settings.
