Global Health and Tropical Medicine – GHTM is the R&D centre of Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical (IHMT) of Universidade NOVA de Lisboa.
In a context of political, economic, social and climatic changes with significant impact worldwide, we aim to consolidate a R&D Centre devoted to global health and tropical medicine, strengthening Portugal’s role as a leading partner in the development and implementation of a global health research agenda.
GHTM brings together researchers with a track record in Tropical Medicine and International/Global Health and aims at tackling neglected and emerging diseases under a multidisciplinary approach and covering aspects from basic biomedical research to public health policies.
The R&D Centre aims to generate excellent science to improve health through evidence-based interventions promoting health equity.
