At the Tropical Centre for Public Health Research, we believe that our true value lies in the lives we improve and the communities we protect.

So, when people ask, “What makes The Tropical Centre for Public Health Research different?” the answer is found in the countless moments where our work has advanced scientific understanding, informed policy, and strengthened public health systems.
It’s seen in the resilience of communities safeguarded from disease outbreaks, in the healthier futures we help build, and in the unwavering commitment that drives our mission.
Mission
To conduct world-class research, provide evidence-based solutions, and strengthen the capacity of health systems to prevent, detect, and respond to public health threats.

In a rapidly changing health landscape, we replace outdated approaches with adaptive, integrated strategies that combine rigorous research, cutting-edge technology, and field-based experience.
Our work spans from early detection of emerging health threats to the development of interventions that can be scaled across regions.
For us, “good” is never good enough. We strive for excellence in every study, every partnership, and every action we take is to protect health, save lives, and create lasting change.
What truly defines us is not just the scope of our research or the scale of our operation. It is our unwavering commitment to making a measurable, meaningful difference in the health and well-being of people everywhere.
