Basic Research in Infection Biology

Preclinical Research in Infection Biology

Innovation - Validation - Application

Research into poverty-related diseases such as malaria, sleeping sickness or tuberculosis has been part of Swiss TPH's role since the organisation was founded. New knowledge flows into the development of diagnostics, compounds and vaccines and into prevention. Other key issues are the monitoring and modelling of non-communicable diseases, the assessment of the impact of environmental exposures or measures to strengthen health systems.

Partnerships
