Professor Dominic Kwiakowski Fellowship

Professor Dominic Kwiatkowski (1953-2023), was a world-renowned expert in malaria, genomics and public health. To honor his life and contributions, a new research initiative in partnership with the Gates Foundation has been established. This fellowship honors the life and scientific contributions of the late Professor Dominic Kwiatkowski, a pioneer in the field of malaria genomics. This award is a fitting legacy to our colleague, mentor and friend.

The Kwiatkowski Fellowship will be awarded annually to one early- to mid-career researcher from and working in an endemic region conducting research in malaria genomics.  This initiative not only commemorates Professor Kwiatkowski’s legacy but also aims to foster the next generation of researchers dedicated to combating malaria.

Each recipient of the Kwiatkowski Fellowship will receive $20,000 designated to advance their research project.
