The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) is a public research university in Bloomsbury, central London, and a member institution of the University of London that specialises in public health and tropical medicine.

The institution was founded in 1899 by Sir Patrick Manson, after a donation from the Indian Parsi philanthropist B. D. Petit.[3][4] Since its foundation it has become one of the most highly placed institutions in global rankings in the fields of public health and infectious diseases.[5][6][7][8][9]

The annual income of the institution for 2021–22 was £262.0 million, of which £175.3 million was from research grants and contracts, with expenditures totalling £291.6 million during the same period.[2] The university has one of the largest endowment per student in the United Kingdom.
