In recent years, we have been hit by the global

  • utbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome

(SARS). We also have seen highly virulent avian influenza viruses devastating Asian and other countries and its jumping to humans. More conventional infections such as AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis and viral hepatitis continue to be a major threat to mankind with steadily increasing number of affected people worldwide.

Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases are intensifying social unrest and anxiety. What we have learned are that infectious diseases have no border and the need of tight international collaboration, especially the collaboration among Asian countries, to cope with them.

Established in 2005 in NIH under Memorandum of Agreement of Academic and Technical Exchange between Osaka Univ. and Dept of Med. Sc.

Thailand-Japan Research Collaboration Center on Emerging and Re-emerging Infections (RCC-ERI)

Funded by Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) of Japan under “Program of Founding Research Centers for Emerging and Reemerging Infectious Diseases”

This Collaboration is undertaken for the purposes

  • f conducting joint research; training, seminars and

development of human resources; and systems and infrastructure development related to emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases.

The goal is to improve understanding of the occurrence and transmission of, and to enhance the capacity to detect, identify, control and prevent the emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases.

Thailand's high priority areas and urgent public health needs to study and control the epidemic of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. Japan expects to benefit from the knowledge gained from epidemiologic, clinical, laboratory and/or

  • perational studies and by the evaluation of

prevention strategies.

This Collaboration is intended for the benefits of both Parties and is based on equal partnership of the Parties.

A few issues to be solved

To get the financial support for sustainable maintenance and development of overseas Collaboration Centers

  • To get the exemption of Income Tax in

Thailand

  • Development of the collaboration into the

academia in Thailand

  • Limitation of the laboratory space
