Dr. Corine Ngufor is an Associate Professor of Medical Entomology and Malaria Prevention at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). She has extensive field experience in mosquito biology, vector control and malaria prevention across sub-Saharan Africa. Dr. Ngufor holds a Master's degree in the Biology and Control of Disease Vectors and a PhD in Infectious Diseases, both from LSHTM. Her doctoral research focused on the use of insecticide combinations to enhance the control of insecticide-resistant malaria vectors in Africa. Since joining LSHTM in 2011, she has supervised and coordinated numerous WHO Phase I, II and III vector control product evaluation studies in Tanzania, C�te d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Cameroon and Benin. Based in Benin since 2013, Dr. Ngufor led the establishment of the GLP-certified CREC/LSHTM Collaborative Research Programme (www.crec-lshtm.org), currently implementing a wide portfolio of laboratory, semi-field, and community trials evaluating new tools (ITNs, IRS, Spatial repellents, ATSBs etc) for controlling insecticide-resistant malaria vectors under her direct supervision. In addition to her work in vector control, Dr. Ngufor has led several public health implementation projects. These include the UNITAID-funded Plus Project, assessing the impact of perennial malaria chemoprevention in Benin, and the USAID-funded MaCRA Project.
