Organisation profile
The Faculty of Biological Sciences is home to the Department of Tropical Disease Biology (TDB) and the Department of Vector Biology, both of which are global leaders in research, education, and innovation targeting infectious and vector-borne diseases. Together, they advance integrated, evidence-based approaches to reduce the burden of these diseases on the world’s most vulnerable populations.
