We look forward to welcoming you to the Mantra Erskine Beach Resort along the Great Ocean Road in Lorne, Australia, for the 4th Molecular Approaches to Malaria Meeting to be held from Sunday 19th to Thursday 23rd February 2012.
 

Continuing a tradition of combining scientific excellence, collaboration and enjoyment, which has been a central feature of the previous three meetings, MAM2012 will focus on the very latest developments in malaria research, covering the spectrum in molecular advances from protein structure and single molecule imaging, cell biology and pathogenesis, right through to host immunity, systems biology and the latest developments in drug discovery/resistance and vaccines – all with an emphasis on cutting edge molecular approaches.  As well as confirmed talks form leaders in the field, there will be focused workshops on systems approaches to malaria research, drug discovery, and strategies towards the development of a complete in vitro parasite lifecycle.
 

As a further addition to this year’s meeting there will be a limited number of talks selected from abstracts, talk+poster sessions along with traditional poster sessions, providing as many opportunities as possible for younger researchers and emerging "breakthroughs to be presented."
 
We are confident that, like its predecessors, MAM2012 will be a standout event for malaria research, with many leaders in the field already confirmed as speakers.

 
We look forward to seeing you in Lorne.

Located in the south-western region of Victoria, Australia, the 2012 Molecular Approaches to Malaria Conference is located in the heart of the Great Ocean Road which spans over 200 kilometres, with around half of this in the Geelong Otway Region. This region is divided into four main parts: Geelong, The Bellarine, the Surf Coast, and the Otways Region.
