The UoL strategic plan 2026 highlights the need to continue to grow international collaborative work as a central element of the university’s mission. Infection is one of the three re-search themes in which Liverpool will provide global leadership. To deliver this strategy, the Institute for Infection and Global Health (IGH) was established in 2010, bringing together leading medical, veterinary and basic scientists from across the University. Five areas of future strategic focus have been high-lighted; Environmental Change, Food Security, Antimicrobial Resistance, Diagnostic tests and Vaccines. Four of these five areas involve cur-rent major activity and investment in partner-ship with MLW with advanced plans to develop projects on zoonotic infections/food security. The Institute houses the Centre for Global Vaccine Research which connects to MLW as its major overseas partner. IGH acts links substantial expertise in infection pharmacology, AMR, HIV and TB, paediatrics, molecular biology, public health and epidemiology within other UoL institutes to research programmes in Malawi. Both UoL and LSTM provide substantial senior scientific support.
