Department of Biomedical Sciences Institute of Tropical Medicine
The Department of Biomedical Sciences consists of ten research units organised in three research groups. We are recognised around the world as leading experts on some of the most important and often neglected pathogens (i.e. parasites, mycobacteria and viruses) and vectors of global public health concern and with outbreak potential. Together with colleagues across ITM’s research departments and in international collaborative networks, we ...
