Parasitology focuses on the study of parasites that impact both animal and human health, covering their biology, transmission patterns, immune responses, disease spread, and management strategies. Our research investigates various parasitic infections, including zoonotic diseases, along with tick-borne illnesses. For more than a century and a half, Liverpool has maintained a world-class standing in infectious disease research, tropical medicine, and global health initiatives.
The Institute of Infection and Global Health at the University of Liverpool was created to unite top researchers from medical, veterinary, and fundamental science disciplines within the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences. It synergizes with other Liverpool-based institutions such as the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, the Wolfson Centre for Personalised Medicine, the Medicines for Children Research Network, and the Wellcome Trust Tropical Centre, which includes a dedicated PhD program.
Additionally, we maintain strong partnerships with NHS professionals through the Liverpool Health Partners Academic Health Science System.
