The Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit (MORU) aims to fight infectious tropical diseases affecting rural communities in Asia and elsewhere in the developing world. We develop effective and practical means of diagnosing and treating Malaria and other neglected diseases such as Typhus, Melioidosis, and Leptospirosis.
MORU is a collaboration between Mahidol University, the University of Oxford and was established with the Wellcome Trust in 1979. Our main office and laboratories are located within the Faculty of Tropical Medicine at Mahidol University in Bangkok, Thailand. We have study sites and collaborations across Thailand and in other parts of the developing world including Laos, Bangladesh, India, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Ghana, and The Gambia.
MORU was established and is supported with significant funding from the Wellcome Trust, though we also receive funding from other trusts and foundations, governments, and multi-lateral donors.
