Dr Dan ward is awarded the LSHTM Garnham PhD Prize

We are thrilled to announce that this year’s winner of the Garnham prize is Dr. Daniel Ward. The Garnham prize is a prestigious award that recognizes the best overall PhD thesis in laboratory sciences within the LSHTM, each academic year. It is named after Professor Cyril Garnham, who was one of the UK’s foremost parasitologists in the 20th century, renowned for his outstanding achievements as both a laboratory scientist and a field worker in the tropics. Dr. Daniel Ward’s thesis covered the development of molecular and serological tools for infection outbreaks. Congratulations to Dan.

Susana and Taane give talks at the ministry of public health Thailand

Professors Susana Campino and Taane Clark recently gave talks at the Ministry of Public Health in Thailand, with whom we have ongoing UKRI-funded projects in COVID-19 and TB. The talks focused on applications of our latest genomics tools in malaria parasites and vectors, TB and Klebsiella bacteria. Many thanks to Dr. Surakameth for hosting the LSHTM team. Staff from the Thailand Ministry of Health have visited the LSHTM for training, data generation and analysis in July 2022 and February/March 2023.
