Studies by Research Area
We cover a number of infectious diseases
Our studies cover a number of infectious diseases, including:
-
Hepatitis C
-
HIV
-
Influenza (flu)
-
Pneumonia
-
Tuberculosis
We also do research on syndromic infections
These illnesses are identified by a combination of symptoms. It may not always be possible to identify the microbe that causes it. We focus on:
-
How to treat children who come to hospital very sick in Africa
-
Bacterial sepsis and drug resistance
-
Syndromic infections in high-income countries (including Kawasaki Disease)
