Dominic was a giant in malaria genomics and founder of @malariagenomics . He was also my great friend. Working with his family and the wonderful team at @WellcomeOpenRes to bring this paper into the world has been emotionally challenging and a true privilege. So pleased it’s out!.
Prof Dominic Kwiatkowski's final paper, exploring the thorniest challenges of malaria transmission, is posthumously published today. His close collaborators and friends give their thoughts on this intellectually impressive work and its legacy.
