Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit (MORU)

Established in 1979 as a research collaboration between Mahidol University (Thailand), Oxford University (UK) and the UK's Wellcome Trust, the Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit (MORU) conducts targeted clinical trials and public health research that aims to discover and develop appropriate, affordable interventions that measurably improve the health of people living in resource-limited parts of the world.

MORU's main office and laboratories are located within the Faculty of Tropical Medicine at Mahidol University in Bangkok, Thailand, with MORU study sites and collaborations across Thailand, Asia and Africa. MORU is generously supported with significant funding from the Wellcome Trust, our major funding partner. We also receive funding from other trusts and foundations, governments, and multi-lateral donors.

This Gateway hosts articles from researchers based at MORU who have been published on Wellcome Open Research.
