The success of the second call for the ISAD-GADA Fellowship was highlighted, with seven applicants from six different countries (Ethiopia, Ghana, Lebanon, Madagascar, Malaysia and Nepal).
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who applied. We were genuinely encouraged by the volume and quality of submissions we received.
We are delighted to inform that Dr Naina Harinjara RAZANAKOTO has been awarded the prestigious ISAD × GADA fellowship for the upcoming project, “Intestinal parasitic infections and atopic dermatitis in Malagasy children: a pilot population-based study in the Vatomandry District, eastern coast of Madagascar.”

This pilot study aims to investigate the complex association between soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections and atopic dermatitis (AD) in school-aged children within the Vatomandry District. By establishing the first population-based data on this relationship in Madagascar, the project seeks to provide critical prevalence estimates and a validated methodology to design a future, large-scale national study.
We extend our warmest congratulations to Naina and look forward to the valuable insights this research will contribute to the global understanding of atopic dermatitis.
Special thanks to our partners at @GADA and their generous supporters at the @LEO Foundation.
