The Laboratory of Microbiology, Parasitology and Hygiene (LMPH) is an interdepartmental research group at the Faculty of Pharmaceutical, Biomedical and Veterinary Sciences at the University of Antwerp.

LMPH can be divided into two major domains: Parasitology and Respiratory Infections. If you want to know more about these domains you can click the appropriate action button.

Together we also offer some services. These can be found under the action button "screening".
