Dominic Kwiatkowski applied genomics and computational analysis to problems in infectious disease, with a focus on malaria. After training as a paediatrician, he spent several years in The Gambia, where malaria causes high levels of childhood mortality. He moved to the University of Oxford in 1989 and took up a joint appointment with the Wellcome Sanger Institute in 2006. He made significant contributions to our understanding of malaria pathogenesis and the genetic mechanisms of resistance to the disease. In 2005 he founded the remarkable data-sharing network MalariaGEN, which fostered productive research collaborations in more than 40 malaria-endemic countries. MalariaGEN has become a model for equitable sharing of genetic data and building research capacity in resource-poor settings. He also pioneered genome-wide genetic association studies in Africa and trained many individuals from that continent. His work is yielding deep insights into the evolutionary biology of drug and insecticide resistance, with practical implications for disease control.
