One Health is a collaborative, multisectoral approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. By integrating expertise from public health, veterinary medicine, environmental science, and other disciplines, One Health aims to prevent and control diseases that spread between animals and humans (zoonoses) and ensure food safety. One Health promotes sustainable health solutions that protect both populations and the planet.
This project focuses on improving animal health, human nutrition, economic welfare, and resilience by removing constraints to cattle health and production in Kenya and the East Africa region.More information about the lab can be found here.
This project uniquely brings together experts in virology and epidemiology of zoonotic infections at the University of Nairobi, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, FAO-Kenya, University of Edinburgh, and Washington State University to address the threat to public health posed by coronaviruses of animal origin
This project focuses on boosting food security and improving nutrition for women and children by making veterinary vaccines more accessible and widely used in the target countries of Kenya, Tanzania, and Nepal. More information about the lab can be found here.
