The last MCTC-sponsored opening was for "Frontieres" (Borders - www.siff.net/festival/borders), the story of a harrowing journey of several women across west Africa.

Ms. Traoré is from Burkina Faso, a west African country of 18 million people. In 2015, at least 7 million cases of malaria occurred there. The work of the Seattle MCTC strives to reduce the burden of malaria in Burkina Faso and throughout the world. For more information on the Seattle MCTC, go to Seattle Malaria Clinical Trials Center.

The Seattle MCTC co-sponsored the 2017 SIFF and helped to spread the word about our clinical trials program to local Seattle residents. The Seattle MCTC uses a wide variety of media outlets to inform area residents about our need for healthy volunteers to participate in our clinical trials of drug and vaccine candidates. On several of the opening nights, Drs. Kublin, Murphy or Duke addressed the audiences just before the screenings about the work of the MCTC.

Nothing completes a sunny afternoon malaria lab barbecue like mosquitoes...especially when there's only one mosquito and it is made out of puff pasty dough and surrounded by little puff pastry parasites! Strawberry-peach pie never tasted as good! Photo is from our recent lab party to celebrate two lab members accepted into graduate and professional training programs out east. Zac Billman will be heading to the University of North Carolina to pursue combined MD/PhD training in their MSTP program. Amelia Hanron will be heading to Yale University for their Masters of Public Health program with a focus on the Epidemiology of Infectious Disease. Congrats to both and thanks for the pie Amelia!
