The Department of Clinical Sciences (DoCS) is a cornerstone of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine’s mission to improve health outcomes for vulnerable populations across the globe. Our department is a hub for translational research, where scientific innovation is transformed into practical solutions—from laboratory discovery through clinical trials to evidence synthesis, teaching, policy change, and real-world health impact. 

Our work addresses some of the most pressing health challenges of our time, with a focus on improving the management of important diseases in the tropics, key areas of research include:  

• Tuberculosis  
• Malaria  
• Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR)  
• Emerging Infections & Sepsis  
• Global Child Health  
• Girl’s & Women’s Health 

DoCS brings together leading researchers, clinicians, educators, and professional support teams who work across a wide spectrum of clinical science disciplines. Our collaborative, multidisciplinary approach is designed to generate actionable evidence that informs health policy and improves clinical practice in both low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and the UK. 

We are proud to support research skills units: 

• Experimental Medicine (HCF)  
• Health Economics  
• Global Health Trials  
• Institute for Resilient Health Systems  
• Clinical Diagnostic Parasitology Laboratory (and post travel advice and clinic)
