A professor “died suddenly”:
Dominic Kwiatkowski, 69
May 16, 2023
Saving the lives of those children was the lifelong mission of Dominic Kwiatkowski, who has died suddenly aged 69. Allied to that ambition was his vision that genetic sequencing – a technology that was beginning to be affordable on a large scale in the 2000s – could answer questions about why some children died and others survived. A professor at Oxford University, Dominic recognised that bringing the power of genomics to bear on malaria would need data from multiple studies in many countries. He saw that the only way to achieve that was in partnership with researchers based in the countries where malaria was endemic.
