Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM), founded 1898, was the first institution dedicated to research and teaching in the field of tropical medicine. We work to fulfil our mission of reducing the burden of sickness and mortality in disease endemic countries and remain at the cutting edge of innovation in research and intervention, by addressing global health issues to attempt to break the cycle of poor health and poverty. We support over 600 students from 68 countries in Post Graduate Research, Masters and professional courses, working in partnership with health ministries, universities and research institutions worldwide.
