Asia is the
most populated region of the world, and is the setting for most of the world’s
preventable deaths. Although the economic prosperity of some Asian countries is
rapidly increasing, there are numerous countries that are designated as
low-income and have no immediate prospect of rapid economic growth. A third of
the region’s population live on less than two dollars a day, which is estimated
to represent two-thirds of the developing world’s poor. The region is a hot
spot for both the emergence of new infectious diseases and antimicrobial drug
resistance. The spectrum of research being conducted by University of Cambridge
investigators mirrors these challenges, and includes research on food security,
major health threats such as influenza and tuberculosis, and bacterial drug
resistance.
