Frank Smithuis
Associate Professor
Myanmar Oxford Clinical Research Unit
Frank Smithuis's interests include the epidemiology and management of malaria- in particular artemisinin resistant malaria- the aetiology and management of fever, and the management of tuberculosis, HIV and opportunistic infections.
The research unit is linked to a network of 6 clinics and 650 Community Health workers in remote areas. Most research questions originate from the day to day health issues in this network.
