Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $3,012,207 to the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (ICIPE) to support research led by Dr. Jeremy Herren on microsporidian MB, a naturally occurring transmission-blocking fungus, and its potential utility for reducing the incidence of malaria.
This falls within Open Philanthropy’s focus area of scientific research, specifically within its interest in advancing human health and wellbeing.
