For the past 15 years, a new infectious disease has been discovered nearly every year, with an outbreak reported on nearly every continent. These threats of food-borne illnesses, pandemic diseases, climate change, and global trade and transit underscore the importance of addressing the complexity of infectious diseases and public health preparedness.
Long dedicated to the study of microbial pathogenesis and the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases, Ohio State is strategically investing to expand its team-approach to the discovery and solution applications across 22 disciplines spanning human, animal and plant health.
