Major Activities
The Southeast Asia Research Station was established in March 2006 at the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology (NIHE) in Vietnam as a research base of the Institute of Tropical Medicine, Nagasaki University under the Program for Establishing Research Centers for Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases (NIHE-Nagasaki University Friendship Laboratory, VRS Nha Trang Branch). Since April 2010, the Station has been administered under the auspices of the Japan Initiative for Global Research Network on Infectious Diseases (J-GRID), which as of 2018, is now in Phase 3.
In addition to gathering and disseminating knowledge related to infectious diseases mainly in Asia, the Station serves as an on-the-job training facility for young researchers, graduate students, and undergraduate students who aspire to work in international health, and it functions as a center for education and research that is used not only by Nagasaki University, but also by other universities and high school students*.
*In FY 2016, four high school students and five undergraduate students and four graduate students from other universities visited the center.
