TEACHING INTERESTS

1. Teaching on LSHTM MSc modules:

  1. 2017-2025: LSHTM distance Learning module in Malaria (IDM503): Updated course materials on vector control and marking of assignments.
    2. 2021 - 2025: LSHTM Module 3196: Integrated Vector Management (2021): Lecturing on vector control product evaluation

2. Supervision of LSHTM Master’s Students

Dr. Corine Ngufor has supervised 15 MSc students from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), supporting their summer research projects in Benin. These projects span a broad range of topics in malaria vector control, from experimental hut evaluations and resistance monitoring to community-based studies.
