About Reinout van Crevel

The goal of my research is to integrate patient studies and laboratory sciences to understand the ‘biology’ and improve diagnosis and management of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, and severe and diabetes-associated TB disease. I have collaborated with Indonesian universities for over 20 years, I have lived in Indonesia for several years leading a large multidisciplinary program on HIV prevention and management. I now hold positions at the Oxford Clinical Research Unit and University of Indonesia in Jakarta, and lead a network on diabetes-tuberculosis research in East Africa, and on TB meningitis in Asia. My research has a strong component of capacity strengthening, among other things through supervision of many PhD students from Indonesia, Romania, and East Africa
