Global Partnerships, Local Impact, Lasting Change
Advancing global health through research, education, and impact
Welcome to the UTMB Center for Tropical Diseases. I invite you to browse through our web pages and hope you will be challenged and encouraged by what you see.
Founded in 1994 through the vision and leadership of Dr. David Walker, former Chair of Pathology at UTMB, the CTD has grown into a thriving center with over 100 affiliated faculty and a vast network of international collaborators.
At its core, the Center for Tropical Diseases is about people—dedicated researchers, educators, and healthcare professionals committed to advancing the fight against tropical diseases through research, education, and service. We are devoted to the countless individuals and communities who stand to benefit from these efforts. With a team of experts committed to tackling diseases that disproportionately affect the tropics and resource-limited areas, we strive to bring knowledge, innovation, and compassion to those who need it most.
Our November meeting for the Division of Infectious Disease Global Grand Rounds is Tuesday, Tuesday December 16th at 9:00AM Central Time (US & Canada). Brazil will be presenting cases.
