BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE TEAM
	IHMT (www.ihmt.unl.pt) is a higher education institution of the University Nova de Lisboa. IHMT carries out research, training, technical assistance, cooperation and services to the community in public health and tropical medicine. IHMT has been at the forefront of research on tropical diseases, often within networks and partnership projects, warranting a strong international presence. The R&D capacity of IHMT was recently congregated into a new research centre, Global Health and Tropical Medicine (http://ghtm.ihmt.unl.pt), which obtained a classification of “Excellent” in the 2013 evaluation of Portuguese R&D Units. GHTM aims at producing scientific evidence to improve health outcomes, strengthening Portugal’s role as a leading partner in the implementation of a global health research agenda. GHTM tackles tropical, neglected and emerging diseases using a multidisciplinary approach, from basic biomedical research to public health policies. The centre is organized in two thematic lines (Health Challenges of Travelers and Migrants; Emerging Diseases and Environmental Changes) and 3 research groups (Vector Borne‐Diseases and Pathogens; TB, HIV and Opportunistic Diseases and Pathogens; Population health, policies and services).
