Locally relevant research, globally connected
The Malawi Nutrition Research Group generates evidence that can improve the survival, growth and development of children in Malawi and other resource-limited settings.
Our work spans severe acute malnutrition, acute childhood illness, post-discharge mortality, child development, nutrition interventions, intestinal and metabolic dysfunction, micronutrients and causes of childhood death.
MNRG combines clinical observation, randomized trials, laboratory investigation, nutritional assessment, anthropometry, social and behavioural research, digital data collection and long-term follow-up.
Our Vision
A future in which every child, including children affected by acute illness and malnutrition, has a better chance to survive, recover, grow and reach their developmental potential.
Our Mission
To conduct rigorous, collaborative and locally relevant research that identifies modifiable risks, evaluates interventions and strengthens evidence for clinicians, programmes and policy makers.
