MRC Unit, The Gambia
Professor Tumani Corrah
Director of MRC Unit, The Gambia
The MRC Unit in The Gambia is the UK’s single largest investment in medical research in a developing country and is internationally recognised for its track record of research into tropical infectious diseases. Its success is based on innovative lab-based research, excellent clinical studies and field-oriented science, and the translation of research into clinical and public health practice. The Unit’s vision is to lead scientific research to save lives and improve health across the developing world, and it aims to deliver this through investment in three major research themes: Child Survival, Vaccinology and Disease Elimination and Control. The close proximity of the International Nutrition Unit in The Gambia provides the opportunity to further enhance investigations of the important role of nutrition in each of our research themes.
