Prof. Doumbo, right, with then-President Stephen Higgs at the 2016 Annual Meeting |
The ASTMH community mourns the loss of Ogobara Doumbo, MD, PhD, who developed a critically important laboratory in Mali, the Malaria Research and Training Center (MRTC), and helped the country become one of the strongest malaria research groups in Africa. Dr. Doumbo died June 9 in Marseille, France. He was named an Honorary International Fellow of ASTMH in 2016 and was among the notable attendees at the opening ceremony of the first ASTMH - West Africa in February. Prof. Doumbo will be deeply missed by the many whose lives he touched.
