Program Overview
The University of Liverpool's Institute of Infection and Global Health unites medical, veterinary, and basic science experts to study infectious diseases in humans and animals. Their research spans a broad range of illnesses, including zoonotic diseases, and focuses on prevention, control, and the impact of human behavior and the environment on disease transmission.
Program Outline
Degree Overview:
Infectious diseases remain major problems worldwide for people and animals. In IGH we study a wide range of important infectious diseases of people and animals, including zoonotic diseases that transmit between animals and people. The University of Liverpool’s Institute of Infection and Global Health was established to bring together leading medical, veterinary and basic science researchers from across the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences. Infection and Global Health related research in humans includes basic, clinical and epidemiological studies of a range of neurological, gastrointestinal, respiratory, vector-borne and sexually-transmitted infections of adults and children. Infection and Global Health related in animals takes place predominantly at the Leahurst campus, where multidisciplinary staff, including clinically-qualified veterinary and medical researchers, statisticians, mathematicians and basic scientists, work together to address a range of issues. These include the investigation of zoonotic pathogens; the spread of antimicrobial resistance; understanding human behaviour as a driver of disease transmission; control and prevention of major infectious diseases of farmed and companion animals; and the influence of the environment and climate on the transmission of disease.
