Our Work

Accelerating the Research, Development, and Scale-Up of Insecticide-Treated Fabrics

Lesu is a research-leading, product-neutral, market-catalyzing organization focused on advancing insecticide-treated fabrics from promising research into safe, scalable, and widely adopted malaria prevention tools. We work to ensure insecticide-treated fabrics scale safely, responsibly, and efficiently from early evidence to life-saving impact.

We operate across five interconnected areas that together support the full pathway from innovation to implementation.

Our Five Core Functions
