As we celebrate our 125^th Anniversary, it is a time to reflect on our collective achievements and impact. I am proud to lead LSTM into the next generation, building on the work my colleagues have achieved.

Our ambition is to be widely recognised as a global organisation, headquartered in Liverpool, an institution which delivers innovative research, excellent teaching and places equitable partnerships at the heart of its work.

History and heritage

LSTM was born out of a need to address the challenges of tropical diseases. As we celebrate 125 years of scientific and translational research, we will also reflect on our achievements and impact on the world. 

Our mission always remains ‘to improve health outcomes in disadvantaged populations globally, through partnership in research and education’.

Engagement

Throughout our 125th Anniversary year, we will be hosting a programme of engagement projects to promote awareness of global health issues The projects take a journey through our impact from research collaboration to our rich heritage, exploration to medical breakthroughs.

Join us on our continuing journey to inform, inspire and involve.

The 125 Fundraising Campaign

Our 125th Anniversary has created an opportunity for us to set a bold new direction which will fundamentally change the way we operate.
For decades, global health funding and interventions have been dominated by Western priorities.

We want to shift the power from top-down Western interventions to further develop scientific and health leadership in the communities where it is most needed.
