Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM), founded in 1898, was the first institution in the world dedicated to research and teaching in the field of tropical medicine. As a registered charity, we work across the world, often in very difficult circumstances, to fulfil our mission of reducing the burden of sickness and mortality in disease endemic countries. We do that through the delivery o...f effective interventions which improve human health and are relevant to the poorest communities.
Our work in combating diseases such as TB, HIV/AIDS, malaria, dengue and lymphatic filariasis is supported by a research order book of well over £210 million. Our worldwide reputation and the calibre of our research outputs has secured funding to lead over 10 international consortia and product development partnerships aimed at reducing or eliminating the impact of diseases upon the world"s poorest people.
Our state-of-the-art facilities continue to develop new drugs, vaccines and pesticides which put us at the forefront of infectious disease research. As a teaching institution, we attract more than 600 students from 68 countries, from PhD research and Masters programmes to a range of professional courses, and work in partnership with health ministries, universities and research institutions worldwide to train the next generation of doctors, scientists, researchers and health professionals.
The provision of technical assistance is a major component of LSTM"s mission of promoting the improved health of the poor and disadvantaged peoples. LSTM consultancy improves health systems in developing countries whilst helping to inform our teaching and research agendas. We also provide pre- and post travel clinical services through our subsidiary Well Travelled Clinics Ltd(link is external), with centres in Liverpool and Chester.
Our Vision is to save lives in resource poor countries through research, education and capacity strengthening. Our Mission is to reduce the burden of sickness and mortality in disease endemic countries through the delivery of effective interventions which improve human health and are relevant to the poorest communities. Our Values are Making a difference to health and wellbeing, Excellence in innovation, leadership and science, Achieving and delivering through partnership, An ethical ethos founded on respect, accountability and honesty, Creating a great place to work and study.
Our multidisciplinary approach to global health research allows us to translate research innovation and scientific breakthroughs from laboratory research into effective interventions for those most in need.
Born out of the shipping industry, LSTM attracts talented researchers and students from around the world. With a research portfolio in excess of £320 million, LSTM has created and sustained a reputation for scientific excellence and continues to offer unrivalled learning opportunities to post-graduate students who study both in the UK and across the developing world.
As one of the few postgraduate centres of excellence in the field of tropical medicine we are enthusiastic about offering our unrivalled learning opportunities to students within the UK and across the developing world, to provide them with the opportunity to excel in their careers in public health, medicine and academia.
Testament to our ongoing success LSTM continues to expand: we have matched our investment in new facilities, such as the Liverpool Life Sciences Accelerator Building, with an investment in new talent and increased our staff numbers from 160 in 2001 to over 471 by the end of 2016.
