Role: Postdoctoral researcher
Vietnam ICU Translational Applications Laboratory (VITAL) is a unique multidisciplinary project, funded by the Wellcome Trust as part of its Innovations for Impact strategy, providing ICU/critical care innovation in resource-limited settings. The project is a collaboration between The Hospital for Tropical Diseases (HTD) and Oxford University Clinical Research Unit (OUCRU) , in Ho Chi Minh City, the University of Oxford , Imperial College London (ICL) , King’s College London (KCL) , ETH Zurich and the University of Melbourne .
The project brings together clinicians, biomedical engineers, physiotherapists, computational and social scientists aiming to use innovative approaches to improve the care of critically ill patients in low and middle income settings, focusing on diseases which cause significant morbidity and mortality.
The project aims to use state-of-the-art ways to enhance diagnosis and treatment utilizing machine learning, novel technologies and computational science in 4 specific diseases: sepsis, dengue, tetanus and tuberculous meningitis, using low-cost tools that are suitable use in the management of other life-threatening conditions and for scale-up and use in a wider setting.
