One Health
Research
One Health Examining how human, animal, and environmental systems interact to shape disease emergence, antimicrobial resistance, and outbreak risk — identifying early warning signals and supporting multisectoral strategies for epidemic prevention.
What the Team
Investigates
Studying how pathogens cross from animals to humans, characterising spillover events, and identifying the ecological and behavioural drivers of zoonotic emergence.
Investigating the spread of antimicrobial resistance genes across human, animal, and environmental reservoirs through integrated genomic surveillance.
Examining how land use change, deforestation, climate variability, and biodiversity loss create conditions for pathogen emergence and epidemic risk.
Monitoring pathogens in water, soil, and food systems as early warning signals for outbreak risk and antimicrobial contamination.
Developing integrated surveillance frameworks that combine animal, environmental, and human health signals to detect outbreak threats before they escalate.
Engaging veterinary, agricultural, environmental, and human health sectors to co-develop sustainable epidemic prevention and AMR response strategies.
From Ecosystem
to Intervention
Collecting samples from humans, animals, and environments across diverse ecosystems including wildlife habitats, farms, and water sources.
Sequencing pathogens and AMR genes from multi-species samples to identify shared strains and track cross-species transmission events.
Combining genomic, ecological, and epidemiological data to map transmission networks across the human-animal-environment interface.
Identifying high-risk interfaces, hotspots, and sentinel species that signal emerging threats for human populations.
Translating findings into multisectoral prevention strategies, early warning systems, and evidence-based policy for epidemic preparedness.
