The Department of Medical Parasitology aims to achieve excellence in both research and teaching in the field of parasitology. Our goal is to discover and implement novel strategies to control parasitic diseases, such as malaria, that affect the health of millions worldwide, especially children. We employ cutting-edge research in genomics, cell biology, immunology, epidemiology, entomology and biochemistry to discover new ways to combat parasitic disease. Through our teaching and training programs, we aim to educate and mentor the next generation of parasitologists.

The Department has undergone significant changes in the last 12 months, including the completion of an extensive program of renovation and re-fitting of our historic building and hiring of new faculty.  More information about these changes can be found in the news section.
