The University of Edinburgh is one of the largest and most successful universities in the UK with an international reputation as a centre of academic excellence. The University is the leading research university in Scotland and is amongst the top ten in the United Kingdom and amongst the top ranked universities globally. It is the University's stated aim that it wishes as far as possible to conduct its research and development activities on a trans-national basis. The pooling of research expertise, equipment and database resources contributes to major advances in science, technology and medicine worldwide. The College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine traces its origins back nearly 500 years and is internationally renowned for its research and teaching and has the only conjoint Medical and Veterinary Medical School in the UK.

The Division of Infection and Pathway Medicine is a research centre in the Edinburgh Medical School and focussed on precision medicine, genomic science, systems biology of infectious diseases. DIPM is part of the 20-30 core PI Infection Medicine Cluster at the Edinburgh BioQuarter and the 860 Scientist Edinburgh Infectious Diseases network across the city of Edinburgh.

Investigating Diagnostic Devices in Global Health

Dr Alice Street is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Social and Political Science at the University of Edinburgh.

Dr Street is an anthropologist with the School of Social and Political Science at the University of Edinburgh. She is the Principal Investigator of a European Research Council funded project on diagnostic devices in global health. The DiaDev project, Investigating the Design and Use of Diagnostic Devices in Global Health, explores the emergent role that diagnostic devices are playing in the transformation of global health partnerships and national health systems in low and middle-income countries. Drawing on novel conceptual and methodological tools from social anthropology, it investigates the social, cultural and technical processes involved in developing, deploying and using diagnostic devices in resource-limited settings. The goal of the project is to guide global health policy through improving our understanding of relationships between technological innovation and the strengthening of health systems.
