We are one of the world’s leading global health research institutes.

Based in Dhaka, Bangladesh, we are committed to solving public health problems facing low- and middle-income countries through innovative scientific research – including laboratory-based, clinical, epidemiological and health systems research. By developing, testing and assessing the implementation of interventions specifically designed for resource-poor settings, we aim to improve the health and wellbeing of people living in the world’s poorest nations. For more than 50 years, we have been carrying out high-quality research and promoting the uptake of evidence-based interventions. Our initial focus was on diarrhoeal disease, but we now study multiple infectious diseases, other threats to public health, and methods of healthcare delivery. Our work has had a profound impact on health policy and practice both locally and globally – and this remains our key objective for the future.

A career at icddr,b is truly a unique experience. It's more than working for a global renowned health research institute; rather it's an opportunity to be a part of something that can help bring about lasting change in the world. We value working with professionals who not only align with our values, but also want to make a difference, develop and inspire others, drive innovative ideas and deliver results.
