The Eijkman-Oxford Clinical Research Unit (EOCRU) in Jakarta opened in 2008
with the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the Eijkman
Institute for Molecular Biology and the University of Oxford, to conduct
collaborative research on infectious diseases impacting the health of
Indonesians and residents of other Southeast Asian nations. University of
Oxford also has a partnership (MoU) with Universitas Indonesia, and they
jointly established the Universities of Indonesia and Oxford Clinical
Research Laboratory (IOCRL) which is a facility dedicated to supporting
collaborative clinical research between the universities. EOCRU is also
part of the Oxford Tropical Network with research units in Africa, Asia and
UK, and operates under the auspices of the Oxford University Clinical
Research Unit in Vietnam.
Clinical trials of chemotherapeutics, diagnostics and vaccines for tropical
infections of public health importance in Indonesia, principally malaria,
tuberculosis, antimicrobial resistance, and other emerging and neglected
tropical diseases, form the core of EOCRU’s activities, with associated
epidemiological, laboratory, and clinical research. EOCRU aims to have a
positive and significant impact on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment
of infectious diseases to improve patient care in Indonesia and the region.
This is being achieved via an expanding long-term research programme with
our local hosts and partners, contributions to research training, and
public engagement with science. Current EOCRU core staff includes 3
Oxford-employed expatriate scientists, Indonesian scientists,
administrative and finance support staff, and clinical trials support staff.
In conducting their work in Indonesia, EOCRU is assisted by Alliance for
Emerging and Re-emerging Disease Threats in Asia Foundation (ALERTAsia), a
local foundation assisting in research grant management and capacity
building for local researchers.
