Centrum for Tropical and Infectious Diseases Research
CTIDR carries out excellent primary and translational research on tropical and infectious diseases, promoting health and well-being across sub-Saharan Africa and beyond.
Who We Are
Pioneering Research for a Healthier Africa
The Centrum for Tropical and Infectious Diseases Research (CTIDR) domiciled in Kano is a not-for-profit research centre dedicated to promoting health and wellbeing in Nigeria, sub-Saharan Africa and beyond, through primary and translational scientific research.
We engage in research on infectious and tropical diseases, including malaria, neglected infections and their vectors, working hand in hand with policy and decision makers from the Nigerian Ministry of Health, universities and other research institutes in Nigeria and internationally.
