Lars Henning MD PhD FACTM FFTM is Associate Professor for Communicable Disease Control and Tropical Medicine in the Discipline of Public Health and Tropical Medicine.

My scientific and academic career has concentrated on clinical research in infectious and neglected tropical diseases with an emphasis on HIV, TB, Leishmaniasis and Cholera/Diarrhoeal Diseases. I have worked several years in leading global health institutions (Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute, Basel, International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh, Dhaka, Ifakara Health Institute, Ifakara, and Infectious Diseases Institute, Kampala). Many of my projects in Asia and Africa focussed on the strengthening of laboratory capacity and the transfer of skills to provide best possible care for patients in different settings. I perceive the link between innovative research and clinical services as crucial in the process of innovation, validation and application of health solutions.
