Infectious Disease Research Hub
Infectious disease dynamics have provided some of the clearest evidence of linking changes in Planetary Health to human health outcomes. The Institute for Planetary Health’s Infectious Disease Research Hub serves as a university-wide space for research, collaboration, and innovation at the intersection of global environmental change and infectious diseases. By linking experts across disciplines—from medicine and epidemiology to engineering, ecology, and policy—we aim to advance scientific understanding and drive real-world solutions.
