Nolwenn Conan

Nolwenn Conan is a consultant with TDR’s Research for Implementation unit, where she has worked since April 2023. She supports the introduction of the malaria vaccine in West and Central Africa by developing generic implementation-research protocols focused on malaria vaccination, as well as data‑collection tools for vaccination coverage surveys and vaccine hesitancy assessments, and by providing technical assistance to countries conducting these studies under the OPT-MVAC and SIRI projects. She also contributes to implementation research training for the WARN/CARN‑TB network and supports countries in their research activities. In addition, she led the development of yellow fever root‑cause analysis research packages and now contributes to their publication and dissemination.

With a nursing background, Nolwenn began her public health career in 2004 with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), working across West and East Africa, Southeast Asia, and Central America in project coordination and epidemiology positions, including in outbreak investigations. Since earning a Master’s degree in Public Health in Developing Countries from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in 2011, she has led and coordinated population‑based surveys and implementation/operational research projects with MSF, Malaria Consortium and Epicentre, including work on HIV, vaccine-preventable diseases and malaria in Southern African and Southeast Asian countries, as well as provided technical support for Covid‑19 response and surveillance for the Cayman Islands Health Service Authority.
