## What is Target Malaria?

Target Malaria – The Game is an interactive educational experience that lets you explore real scientific techniques used in malaria research. Through hands-on gameplay, you will learn how gene drive technology is being studied to help reduce malaria transmission, including microinjection of mosquito embryos using precision lab equipment and transgenic screening to identify genetically modified larvae.
