Department of Clinical Sciences

Introduction
The Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITM) in Antwerp aims at the advancement and spread of science that contributes to infectious disease medicine and to public health globally with a focus on low
- and middle-income countries, inclusive of their global dimensions. ITM provides fundamental, translational and applied scientific research, delivers advanced education and provides medical, scientific and societal expert services. The ITM is an open and international campus where staff, students and researchers work on new international health challenges.

ITM's Department of Clinical Sciences strives for optimal diagnosis, treatment and prevention of tropical and globalized infectious diseases.

The department has long-standing well-recognised expertise in working with both epidemic and endemic infectious diseases in limited resource settings and in the conduct of clinical trials of treatments, vaccines, and diagnostics, supported by the ITM Clinical Trials Unit, and a newly established Clinical Trials Centre.

We host the national reference laboratory for the diagnosis of Infectious and Tropical Diseases, an AIDS reference laboratory and several national reference centres including for Arboviruses and Sexually Transmitted Infections.

The ITM clinic sees over 20,000 travellers a year. The ITM clinical reference laboratory, supporting the clinic, covers the diagnosis of viral, bacterial and parasitic pathogens.


The thriving and multidisciplinary Unit of Tropical Bacteriology, currently consisting of nine people, covers the entire academic triad (research, education, capacity strengthening).

In terms of education, the unit leads an antimicrobial resistance short course (AIM) and the Field lab preparedness training, and supports various other courses within the institute and external partners.

A wide range of educational material is made freely available.


In terms of scientific capacity building, a blood-culture AMR surveillance network has been set-up in hospitals in sub-Saharan Africa (Benin, Burkina Faso, DRC, Mozambique, Ethiopia,), Peru and Cambodia.

This also constitutes the back-bone for joint research activities with the various partners.


The core of the operational research activities is focused on the surveillance of AMR and innovations in diagnostic bacteriology in hospital settings in resource-limited settings.

Other research lines cover diagnosis, treatment and epidemiology of non-typhoid salmonellosis, and vaccination studies in limited resource settings.

Key partners or funders include FIND, WHO, EDCTP, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, MSF.


With the retirement of the current professor approaching, the department is opening up a position for a professor in Tropical Bacteriology.

This position encompasses the classical academic triad of research, education and service delivery.
