What this research studies
From a patient's view, this core gathers and standardizes clinical, epidemiologic, and vector survey data from hospitals and field sites across India. Data are entered on tablets and stored in secure systems like REDCap and Google Cloud, with strict procedures to keep quality high. The core provides biostatistics and bioinformatics support to analyze the data and helps prepare reports and manuscripts. De-identified datasets, code, and analysis tools are released to public databases (ClinEpiDB, GenBank, VEuPathDB) so other scientists can use the information.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: People with malaria in the Indian study areas or whose clinical or survey data are collected at participating hospitals and field sites would be relevant to this work.
Not a fit: People without malaria or those living outside the Indian study regions are unlikely to see direct benefits from this data core.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this could speed up discoveries about malaria patterns and treatment responses so clinicians and public health teams can act faster.
How similar studies have performed: Data-management and sharing cores have previously helped accelerate malaria research by improving data quality and enabling wider analyses.
