Professor Abdoulaye Diabaté

Professor Abdoulaye Diabaté is one of Africa’s foremost malaria experts, he is a prominent Burkinabè researcher known for his contributions to the field of medical entomology and malaria research.

As Head of Medical Entomology and Parasitology, Professor Diabaté also serves as the Principal Investigator of Target Malaria Burkina Faso. He established the project in Burkina Faso in 2012. He is leading some of the world’s most advanced work on controlling malaria mosquitoes using genetically modified mosquitoes, in particular the use of gene drive, an innovative approach to genetic modification used by Target Malaria.

Professor Diabaté is a leading figure in malaria research, particularly in the field of genetical approaches to malaria reduction in Africa. He hopes to bring gene drive, an innovative genetic tool which could help reduce malaria transmission, to Africa in the future.

Professor Diabaté's expertise and research contributions have gained international recognition, leading to invitations as a guest speaker at esteemed universities, including Harvard University. His collaborations with various research centres and universities around the world have fostered lasting partnerships and knowledge exchanges.

Professor Diabaté's dedication to advancing scientific knowledge in the fight against malaria has positioned him as a leading figure in medical entomology, contributing to groundbreaking research and initiatives in Burkina Faso and beyond. Notably, Professor Diabaté led the Target Malaria Burkina Faso team through the first release of genetically modified mosquitoes in Africa, marking a historic moment for science.

Professor Diabaté is principal investigator (PI) of the following projects:

• Target Malaria Burkina Faso
• Engineering fungi to kill malaria mosquitoes

Early life and education

Professor Abdoulaye Diabaté was born in Burkina Faso, a small landlocked country in West Africa. As a child, he suffered from many malaria episodes and almost died of the disease when he was four years old. This experience was pivotal in his vocation to take on a scientific career and dedicate it to finding innovative solutions to fight malaria.

In his country, Burkina Faso, malaria rages every rainy season. In 2021, there were an estimated 8.3 million cases of malaria, that’s 37% of the whole population. There were also 18,900 deaths, that’s 15% of all deaths (WHO, 2022). Malaria is one of the primary causes of medical consultations and hospital admissions.

Professor Diabaté studied at the University of Ouagadougou, where he obtained a Doctorate of Animal Biology and Ecology degree. Later, he earned his Ph.D. in Parasitology from the University of Montpellier II in France in 2003.

In 2005, Diabaté embarked on a post-doctoral fellowship at the Laboratory of Malaria and Vector research of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States. After completing his fellowship, he returned to Burkina Faso in 2009 and took up a position at the Research Institute in Health Sciences (Institut de Recherche en Sciences de la Santé) in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso.

Scientific accomplishments

Target Malaria

Abdoulaye Diabaté is leading the research on genetic technologies for malaria control in Burkina Faso, the only country in Africa to be working with genetically modified mosquitoes.

Gene drive is a technology that biases the rate of inheritance, to push a genetic modification to be inherited by the offspring 90% of the time instead of the normal mendelian inheritance rate of 50%. In the context of malaria, Target Malaria is developing genetically modified mosquitoes that would carry the gene drive technology to reduce the population of malaria-transmitting mosquitoes. It could potentially be a cost-efficient, long-term and sustainable vector tool that would complement existing and new tools and be very well suited for an African environment where malaria is a rural disease that strikes the vulnerable population, mostly children and pregnant women.

In 2019, he led the team who conducted the first release of genetically modified mosquitoes in Africa. His team also successfully imported in 2022 a new strain of non gene drive genetically modified mosquitoes, the male bias. It was a significant achievement for an African research team. It was developed in the UK at Imperial College London, tested in the UK and Italy and imported to the insectary at the Institut de Recherche en Sciences de la Santé(IRSS) in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso. The team are currently studying it under contained use and hope to conduct an experimental field release in 2025.

Professor Diabaté has been a key proponent of the importance of engaging stakeholders in science. In his team, he has hired social scientists, sociologists, anthropologists and stakeholder engagement practitioners to make sure that every step of the research done by Target Malaria in Burkina Faso is shared with those who may be affected by the research activities.

Professor Diabaté is passionate about sharing with stakeholders the fundamental issues about the role of science in our society, about the scientific progress and ethics of specific impacts of science. As well as about our perception of the natural world and about how diseases have shaped and impacted human civilisations.

Fungi

Professor Diabaté’s team genetically modified the fungi Metarhizium pingshaense (Mp) to specifically deliver insecticidal proteins into mosquito blood. This transgenic fungus is engineered to express an insect-specific spider neurotoxin called Hybrid (Ca++/K+ channel blocker).

Recognition

Professor Diabaté was honoured with the following distinctions:

• The Royal Society Pfizer Award in 2013
• Grand Challenges Star in Global Health grant
• MRC/DFID African Leader Scheme grant
• PAMCA (Pan-African Mosquito Control Association) award for his significant contributions to the field of medical entomology
• "Chevalier des Palmes académiques" by the Government of Burkina Faso for his outstanding scientific research in the country in 2022
• Vox Future Perfect 50, among the 50 global personalities shaping the future
• Professor Diabaté and his team of eight researchers based in the United States and Burkina Faso for receiving the 2019 Newcomb Cleveland Prize at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). For more information, please read this blog by Raymond J. Monnat, Jr. M.D.

More recently, he was chosen as a finalist for the Falling Walls 2023: Science Breakthrough of the Year in the Science & Innovation Management category. On August 16th 2023, it was announced that Professor Diabaté was among the Science & Innovation Management category winners and an interview was published on the Falling Walls website titled 'ERADICATING MALARIA: GENETIC SOLUTIONS AND AFRICAN LEADERSHIP'.

Media coverage

As a respected expert in his field, Professor Diabaté has been interviewed by various prestigious international and national media outlets, including the BBC, Netflix, New York Times, and Burkinabè media, further amplifying his research and its impact on global health.
