Professor Paul Newton is Head of the IDDO Medicine Quality Research Group. He was appointed Head of the WorldWide Antimalarial Research Network (WWARN) Antimalarial Quality Group in 2010. He was the founding Director of the Lao-Oxford-Mahosot-Wellcome Trust Research Unit (LOMWRU) in the Microbiology Laboratory of Mahosot Hospital in Vientiane, Laos, from 2000 to 2019 and now works based from Oxford. After junior doctor training in infectious disease and internal medicine in the UK, he worked in the Mahidol Oxford Research Unit in Bangkok on malaria and melioidosis for four years before moving to Laos.
