Departments, groups & units
Our three scientific departments focus on Pathogens, Patients and Populations and contribute to our four core tasks: research, education, medical service delivery and development cooperation.
-
Department of Public Health
We study health systems (the organisation and operation of health services), epidemiology and disease control on population level.
-
Department of Clinical Sciences
We investigate the diagnosis and treatment of tropical diseases, conduct clinical trials with new drugs, and study infectious diseases with a particular focus on STIs, HIV, and TB.
-
Department of Biomedical Sciences
We work to reduce the global burden of tropical infectious diseases. We do this by deepening our understanding of pathogen–host–vector interactions, investigating how pathogens and vectors adapt to changing environments, and creating innovative tools to strengthen the diagnosis, surveillance, prevention, treatment, and control of infectious diseases.
