Thanks to an AfOx Travel Grant, Sarah Hill and Nuno Faria from Oxford Department of Zoology travelled to Luanda, Angola, to sequence viruses that cause severe disease. The first genomes of Zika virus detected in patients in Angola were thus sequenced. This method can help reveal the ‘family tree’ of viruses and better understand how viruses spread across the world. The researchers have now started to sequence additional viral genomes, from dengue and yellow fever, for similar studies on these viruses.
IHTM Podcasts
The IHTM podcast series provides a platform to discuss and address some of the current challenges in global health, particularly in resource limited contexts. The series draws on IHTM faculty, teachers and alumni, who are at the forefront of international health, and we hope the podcasts appeal to a broad global health audience and in particular the populations and organisations with which IHTM alumni work.
MSc Modelling in Global Health
The MSc in Modelling for Global Health is a full-time one-year taught programme that provides interdisciplinary content on modelling, health evidence to inform the modelling, and policy processes to inform decisions. Week-long modules are delivered through a mix of interactive practical sessions and lectures in person at Oxford. Demand for a skilled workforce in this field is on the rise and there is great potential for mathematical and economic modelling to help guide policy for national health systems and international policymaking.
Public Engagement with Research
Public Engagement with Research is a two-way process that aims to benefit both the public and researchers, and ultimately enhance the quality or impact of research. Members of the public can be involved in many ways, in the design, conduct and dissemination of research. Activities can take different forms, to inform and inspire, consult and listen, or collaborate with the public.
