Eduard Rovira-Vallbona

Eduard Rovira-Vallbona is a researcher at ISGlobal, where he coordinates the Malaria Pathophysiology and Genomics group. His work focuses on malaria genomic surveillance, molecular epidemiology, and antimalarial drug resistance across low- and middle-income countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

His research spans:

• Molecular mechanisms of malaria pathophysiology
• Genomic tools for malaria stratification
• Drug resistance monitoring in endemic regions
• Therapeutic efficacy trials for P. falciparum and P. vivax

Recent publications highlight his contributions to understanding asymptomatic malaria reservoirs, therapeutic efficacy in Vietnam, and genomic surveillance systems in Mozambique. He collaborates extensively with institutions in Vietnam, Mozambique, Burkina Faso, and Peru.
