h3Swiss TPH advances global health through research, education and impact. For over 80 years, we have generated scientific evidence, strengthened capacity, and created solutions that reach millions. From malaria and tuberculosis to cancer and climate-driven health risks, we tackle the most pressing challenges of our time. Associated with the University of Basel, 950 people from 90 nations work in partnership across 120 countries, taking science to impact in Switzerland and worldwide. /h3 /brpOur research spans basic science, epidemiology and implementation science. It addresses infectious and non-communicable diseases from biological mechanisms and disease patterns in populations to health systems and policy. Our researchers combine experimental, clinical and population-based approaches, evaluating interventions under real-world conditions.
