Objectives

We will carry out international collaborative research with three organizations from three different countries, Thailand Chiang Mai University, Laos University of Health Sciences, and Vietnam National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology. We will invite over 20 researchers from these organizations each year to receive training in Korea and visit one offshore local center (Thailand Chiang Mai University) to provide training and maintenance programs.
Training centers in Korea will be provided by Seoul National University Hospital, Korea University, Department of Microbiology, and Inje University, Department of Infectious Disease/KOICID (Korea International Cooperation for Infectious Diseases).
