Research Areas

Patient-centred research is the core of our research activities, spanning 5 research units and over 50 research sites in Asia and Africa.

Billions of people live in malaria endemic countries; we aim to improve health through research that addresses this threat.

Paying attention to the public and communities is essential to make our programmes ethical and trustworthy, to maximise their success and impact.

Greater participation and inclusivity, as well as recognising the value of diversity, lead to fairer opportunities to fulfil everybody's potential.

Scrub typhus treatment with doxycycline and azithromycin is significantly more effective than the current monotherapy of either drug alone.

The global fight against malaria has hit a critical point in Africa, where parasites resistant to artemisinin have emerged.

Pneumococcal colonisation and pneumonia severity in hospitalised Cambodian children following introduction of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine
Posted 26/05/2023. In a recent study from Angkor Hospital for Children, Paul Turner and colleagues recruited over 2,000 Cambodian children with clinical pneumonia in the first three years following pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) introduction nationally. PCV13 vaccinated children were less likely to have severe presentations, i.e. x-ray confirmed or hypoxic pneumonia, compared to non-vaccinated children.
Culturally responsive research ethics: How the socio-ethical norms of Arr-nar/Kreng-jai inform research participation at the Thai-Myanmar border
Posted 23/05/2023. Napat Khirikoekkong, Supa-at Asarath, Phaik Yeong Cheah, and colleagues analyse how the socio-cultural norm of Arr-nar or Kreng-jai influences the research experiences of individuals taking part in research on the Thai-Myanmar border. Arr-nar (in Burmese/Karen) or Kreng-jai (in Thai) encompasses multiple meanings including consideration for others and graciousness.
