Welcome Statement

Welcome to the Centrum for Tropical and Infectious Diseases Research (CTIDR). Founded in 2025, our centre represents a bold commitment to advancing our understanding of the tropical and infectious diseases that disproportionately affect populations across sub-Saharan Africa and beyond.

At CTIDR, we believe that world-class research can emerge from anywhere when the right minds, resources, and determination come together. Our team of dedicated researchers, students, and collaborators work at the frontiers of molecular biology, entomology, genomics, mathematical modelling, and climate science.

We are committed to training the next generation of African scientists and building sustainable research capacity that will endure for decades to come. Our partnerships with leading international institutions ensure that our work is globally connected while remaining locally relevant.

I invite you to explore our website to learn more about our research programmes, meet our team, and discover opportunities to collaborate with us. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the health and well-being of millions.
