We aim to recruit and train the best young clinical and non-clinical scientists with an interest in global health research, to provide them with the support, training and academic environment they need to develop into independent researchers, and to facilitate their academic and clinical career progression.
LSHTM is one of eight WHO Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Collaborating Centres worldwide. This Centre is closely aligned with LSHTM’s Sexually Transmitted Infections Research Interest Group (STIRIG), which is made up of more than 50 cross-Faculty, interdisciplinary LSHTM researchers and students conducting research on sexual health and STIs. The Centre works with the WHO Global HIV, Hepatitis and STIs Programme (HHS), the UNDP/UNFPA/UNICEF/WHO/World Bank Special Programme of Research, Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction (HRP), and a network of international collaborators on activities to improve the prevention, control and management of STIs worldwide.
