Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV)
@mmv.org
A leading global health partnership working to reduce the burden of malaria. We discover, develop and deliver new antimalarial medicines.
Our response to antimalarial drug resistance will shape the future of #malaria control & elimination. Ganaplacide-lumefantrine, a novel non-artemisinin combination developed by @novartis.bsky.social with MMV, can tackle drug-resistant parasites. Prof. Djimdé explains how on BBC

Can #AI accelerate the discovery of next-gen antimalarials to keep us ahead of resistance and bring us closer to zero #malaria deaths? Sithulisiwe Ngwenya explains how dd4gh, an AI-powered platform in development by MMV & @deepmirror.bsky.social, can support her drug discovery research.

How can we go farther and faster together in the fight against #malaria? By leaning into our role as impatient optimists.

At #ASTMH25, MMV and @gatesfoundation.bsky.social reaffirmed our belief in a malaria-free future and a bold, science-driven path forward. 🎥 bit.ly/44OOyOP

Working on a project that could help expand MMV’s drug discovery pipeline and the global antimalarial toolbox? Our 23rd call for proposals is now open for compounds addressing key #malaria prevention, treatment and elimination needs. Deadline: 27 Feb. 👉 bit.ly/3XFUG8n

Despite setbacks & emerging threats, progress against #malaria continues.

Since 2000, billions of cases & millions of deaths have been averted & more countries are now malaria-free. Cabo Verde, Egypt, Georgia, Suriname & Timor-Leste show that zero malaria is possible.

Children’s medicines lag nearly a decade behind adult treatments.

@who.int’s GAP-f network is working to close this gap. Its recent #malaria PADO exercise – supported by MMV – set a research agenda to better address children’s needs.

This year proved we can regain momentum against #malaria. To defeat it, we need broader access and new #innovations. MMV's CEO Martin Fitchet shares what’s needed in 2026 to accelerate progress through innovation & partnership.

A powerful trio of #malaria prevention tools – vector control, chemoprevention & vaccines – helped protect millions last year.

MMV works with national malaria control programmes & African manufacturers to continue expanding access to SMC for children and pregnant women.

The #WorldMalariaReport is clear: drug resistance is advancing. Our response must be just as clear: new meds with new mechanisms of action.

Collaboration, commitment & funding can keep us ahead of resistance & help deliver next-gen meds to ensure #malaria is no longer a threat.

Antimalarial drug resistance won’t wait, and neither should we. At the #WorldMalariaReport launch in the UK Parliament, MMV’s Cristina Donini highlighted our efforts to stay one step ahead of resistance and the role UK science & innovation play in the fight against #malaria.
December 16, 2025 at 1:55 PM
The @who.int 2025 World malaria report brings a clear message: drug resistance threatens to undo hard-won gains against #malaria. With progress stalling, we must double down on innovation, surveillance and long-term commitment to stay ahead of resistance 👉 bit.ly/48JynVs

How do #malaria parasites survive in the mosquito gut?

Researchers have profiled gene activity to find out, revealing insights that could inform new transmission-blocking tools.

Is #malaria eradication still within reach?

Experts at #ASTMH25, convened by @gatesfoundation.bsky.social & MMV for a sponsored symposium, say yes...with next-gen tools, strong endemic-country leadership & sustained investment.

Paul Boateng (Ghana NMEP) on staying ahead of antimalarial drug resistance, including the use of MFT to reduce pressure on ACTs. Through the ALARM partnership, MMV & Ghana's NMEP are conducting an MFT pilot following similar successful pilots in Kenya & Burkina Faso. #WAAW25

At #CPHIA2025, Dr Edwin Onyango from Kenya’s NMCP explained partial-artemisinin resistance.

MMV & partners are developing a triple ACT, combining artemether-lumefantrine with amodiaquine. This medicine is now in Phase 3 clinical trials.

What if drug resistance caused the #malaria medicines millions rely on to stop working? With signs of partial resistance emerging again, we must act now to protect the efficacy of existing tools and develop new interventions with stronger barriers to resistance. #WAAW25

Parasites developing resistance to #malaria mediciness isn’t a question of if, but when. We must act now to protect gains & secure a malaria-free future.

MMV & partners are staying one step ahead of resistance 👉 bit.ly/47MmP3x
