About us

The University of Sciences, Techniques, and Technologies of Bamako/Malaria Research and Training Center (MRTC) is working to set up an African Center for Excellence in Molecular Engineering. The Center will support global efforts to develop innovative approaches for vector control, by providing a setting for African scientists to learn and develop advanced skills in genetic engineering, including those linked to the development of genetically modified mosquitoes.

Our objectives

  • Set up a high-level technical team capable of developing genetic vector control tools in Africa.
  • Develop technical expertise in Africa to strengthen genetic engineering research capacity and ensure regulatory compliance.
  • Place African scientists at the center of the fight against vector-borne diseases that heavily affect our continent.

Our team

We are a multi-disciplinary team of Malian researchers specialising in entomology, bioinformatics, epidemiology, ecology, regulation, stakeholder engagement and communication.

We uphold the values of Excellence, Innovation and Transparency. ACEME receives its core funding from the Gates Foundation.
