World Malaria Day (April 25) is an occasion to highlight the need for continued investment and sustained political commitment for malaria prevention and control. It was instituted by WHO Member States during the World Health Assembly of 2007.

Do you want to support progress in research for malaria parasite detection?

Yassin Jomni is an independent researcher in training and development of AI algorithms for automatic detection of malaria parasites in digital images of blood smear. Today he pursues this research by his activity in Zinnova AB as well as being head of Advanced Digital Technologies at Institute of AI and Robotics (Ulrika, Sweden).

He has partnered with Mikael Syväjärvi, founder of innovation capacity company Alminica AB as well as being Research and Innovation Cooordinator at Institute of Advanced Materials (Ulrika, Sweden). Mikael has long experience in research to business and implementation to societal impact creation.

Independent research means that it is very challenging to get funding. By side activities such as consulting and lecturing, we survive. But progress in the reasrearch area would be more efficient by support. This is where you can help.
