She is studying the genetic determinants of the invasion of red blood cells by Plasmodium falciparum, a parasite responsible for malaria in Africa. She dreams of being able to eliminate malaria through the development of appropriate drugs and vaccines. At a time when health-related problems in Africa are experienced primarily by women, Nora Nganyewo strongly believes that women should be more involved in the comprehension, design and decision-making processes related to scientific innovation.<br/> <br/>She is one of the 20 African women researchers rewarded for the excellence of their scientific work through the <a href='https://www.forwomeninscience.com/'>For Women in Science</a> Young Talents Program for Sub-Saharan Africa, led by The Fondation L’Oréal and UNESCO.<br/><br/>Design<em> -</em> <em>Production - Distribution: </em><a href='https://angiocom.fr/'><em>Angiocom</em></a><em> </em></p>","author_name":"Fondation L'Oréal"}
