MORU · Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit

Software Engineering for Global Health Research

We are a new team embedded within MORU, dedicated to building robust, reproducible, and maintainable software that accelerates tropical medicine research.

What We Do

Turning Research Ideas into Reliable Software

From data pipelines and analysis tools to web platforms and clinical trial systems — we partner with researchers at every stage of the software lifecycle.

Let's Collaborate

Have a Project in Mind?

Whether you're writing a grant, already funded, or just need a code review — we'd love to hear from you. Reach out and let's build something together.

A New RSE Team at the Heart of MORU

The MORU RSE Group is a research software engineering team embedded within the Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit. We work alongside scientists and clinicians to design, develop, and maintain the software that underpins modern tropical medicine research.

We are a young team — but that means we bring fresh perspectives, modern practices, and genuine enthusiasm to every project we take on.
