The Oxford University Clinical Research Unit (OUCRU) is a large-scale clinical and public health research unit with campuses in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi in Viet Nam; Kathmandu in Nepal; and Jakarta in Indonesia. We are hosted by the Hospital of Tropical Diseases in Ho Chi Minh City, and the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases in Hanoi. As a Wellcome Trust Major Overseas Programme, we have received considerable support from the Trust, including core funding, since our establishment in 1991.
Our work puts clinical and public health research at the centre with an integrated clinical science programme encompassing patient-orientated clinical research, and aspects of immunology, host and pathogen genetics, molecular biology, virology and epidemiology.
